'Twas mercy brought me from my Pagan land, Taught my benighted[1] soul to understand That there's a God, that there's a Saviour too: Once I redemption neither sought nor knew. Some view our sable[2] race with scornful eye, "Their colour is a diabolic die."[3] Remember, Christians, Negroes, black as Cain, May be refin'd, and join th' angelic train.

Answer:

She spoke of her encounters and struggles throughout this poem that she'd have to face. Further clarification is presented below.  

Explanation:

  • She says that perhaps the land because she used always reside, would be where God as well as Savior still lived, and she has never thought about their liberation as well as redemption.
  • She's saying that we're racially oppressed here, although white people believe we're the son including its claim, and we're here to serve white people. She requests freedom from oppression through all of this.
  • She frequently says that it would be possible to fundamentally change blacks to board the angelic transport like white, where she demands freedom. Justice also means behaving fairly towards blacks.
