 The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere
by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

1 Listen my children and you shall hear

2 Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
3 On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
4 Hardly a man is now alive
5 Who remembers that famous day and
year.
6 He said to his friend, “If the British march
7 By land or sea from town to-night,
8 Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
9 Of the North Church tower as a signal
light,—
10 One if by land, and two if by sea;
11 And I on the opposite shore will be,
12 Ready to ride and spread alarm
13 Through every Middlesex village and
farm,
14 For the country folk to be up and to arm.”
15 Then he said “Good-night!” and with
muffled oar
16 Silently rowed to the Charleston shore
17 Just as the moon rose over the bay,
18 Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
19 The Somerset, British man-of-war;
20 A phantom ship, with each mast and
spar
21 Across the moon like a prison bar,
22 And a huge black hulk, that was
magnified
23 By its own reflection in the tide
24 Meanwhile, his friend through alley and
street
25 Wanders and watches, with eager ears,
26 Till in silence around him hears
27 The muster of men at the barrack door,
28 The sound of arms, and the tramp of
feet,
29 And the measured tread of the
grenadiers,
30 Marching down to their boats on the
shore.
______86. If the British attack from sea, how many lanterns will be hung in the North Church?
A. two B. one C. three D. none

______87. What is Paul Revere riding on?

A. a bike B. a horse C. a carriage D. none of these

______88. Where will Paul Revere wait for the signal?

A in the belfry of the North Church B Middlesex C on the
opposite shore D in the barracks

______89. What is Paul Revere warning people of?

A bad weather B a battle
C the invasion of the British D a phantom ship
