This is in the first stanza of Longfellow's poem The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere written in 1861. He is telling how Revere would know how the British came into Boston . One lantern by land and two lanterns by sea from the Old North Church. In this way Revere would know how to warn the colonists. As a point of reference Revere did not finish his ride.

it reefers to a warning signal about the British invading in Revolutionary times.(Paul Revere)
It meant if the british invaded by land than paul revere would put one lantern up ,but if they came by sea than two
i don’t know
the two symbols were one lantern if they came by land and two if they came by sea.
One if by land, two if by sea.
They came by sea. One if by land, two if by sea. Two laterns were hung in the tower window, so the British came by sea.
In "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, the signal referred to lamps. Someone would put up one lamp if the British were approaching to attack on land and two lamps if the British were going to attack from sea. People in the villages and farms could prepare the best attack if they knew where the British were approaching from.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow in his famous poem Paul Revere's ride.
It was a signal agreement. If the British army were coming by land, there would be one lantern showing. If the British army were coming by ship (sea), there would be two lanterns showing.

"No body actually knows different story's been pasted on for years nobody actually knows if the British came by land or by sea different story's been pasted on for many years." Is NOT true. the real answer is.. They would hang two lanterns, light one if by land, two if by sea. Of course there wasn't a "3" because they didn't have airplanes! When it was night and two lanterns were lit and Paul Revere saw it, he jumped on his horse, and declared, "The British are coming!". Two other men joined his escapade to save the country.
