Gladder our hearts to see,
Thee and our country free,
Soggarth aroon!

“Two singers to an early tomb ¶ Did doleful Death ingather ¶ And all the land is set in gloom ¶ For these two dead together.”
Two singers to an early tomb
Did doleful Death ingather
And all the land is set in gloom
For these two dead together.
Industrious Death! we harvest - time
Our heavy harvest reaping,
Culling your victims in their prime,
Regardless of our weeping. Ill - starred July! how wantonly
You stole from us our dearest,
Unmindful of the tear or sigh,
Of kith or kin the nearest;
'Tis true they loved you, did these two,
They loved your Summer flowers;
You lured them hence with summer-dew,
And what a grief is ours.(continues on next page) - Informant
