"He said to his friend 'If the British march/By land or sea from the town tonight/ Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch/Of the North Church tower as a signal light/One if by land, two if by sea; and I on the opposite shore will be/Ready to ride and sound the alarm/Through every Middlesex village and farm/For the country folk to be up and in arm."
-Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, "Paul Revere's Ride"
