Wonderful poem.
However I have often wondered if Paul Revere actually did call out; “The BRITISH are coming. The BRITISH are coming.”
After all he was and considered himself a British citizen. I think he probably said something like, “The Redcoats are coming.” or maybe “The army is coming.” To me it makes more sense.

I had always heard that it was actually "The Regulars are coming" or "The Regulars are out".
