And the youngest only eleven months old,
But often she had left them there alone,
As, by the neighbors, I have been told.
Where she so oft has left them there,
Without a single one to look to them,
Or of the little ones to take good care.
Whereunder their little burnt bones lay,
But what she thinks she hears them say,
‘’Twas God had pity, and took us on high.’
And ask God her to forgive;
And she may lead a different life
While she on earth remains to live.
God has took from pain and woe.
May she reform and mend her ways,
That she may also to them go.
O, may she be prepared
To meet her God and friends in peace,
And leave this world of care.”
