    That she gave two pounds of butter for two pounds of Indian meal.
    When I had cast my farewell glance upon those hearts so brave.
    I cursed the laws that flitched from them the food that God had gave
    And prayed that he might send relief from his bright home in Heaven
    To survivors of that hand made scurge in the year of '47
