Swing low, sweet chariot.

This text is a spitirual, a spiritual is a text song by black people in the times of slavery to motivate them against it. The first stanza consists of two repeated lines that introduce the image of the poem. The image is a char­iot that descends from the sky to carry the speaker home. Also, it includes an allusion, refers to another text, when it mentions the Jordan, it refers to the river Jordan to the Bible.

This African-American spiritual was song by the slaves during their work to don't give up and to have a hope that someday slavery will end. I like this song because we song it like we were the slaves, and in some kind I felt bad about them.
