- (continued from previous page)The brake beside the lake
The forge beside the wood
Mike Barry's cot beside the lake
As tidy as it couldThe midnight moon has set
The Anvil's dong is still
Two stately forms emerge
From the still beside the rillWith spirits warm and high
Towards the wood they go
Their axe and saw are bright
They dread not Ghost or foe.Into the wood they step
Where fir loomed straight & high
Upon the choicest spars
Their axe & saw they plyThe work is stayed awhile
The dew is handed round
And now in one deep draught
The men new courage found.(continues on next page)- Informant
