i'm gonna have to disagree with you on this one...it may be about slaves, however i think its just about through darkness(evil) and gloom, the walkers will always be able to prevail because they have something to look forward too during the nights,day.
the mornings may represent faith, and hope, and that is what helps them to be strong.

Don't you posters get it? This poem is about slaves knowing about sunrise and sunset because of working in the fields. It's neither cool, sweet, or pleasant for them to rise at sunrise.
