   How little did his parents think, he cd meet his death so soon, 7. The day of their sad funeral it was a mournful sight, Four & twenty clergy leading & they all dressed out in white, The "Temperance Band" the dead march played the procession slow moved on, While the mourners shed a silent tear, their loved ones now were gone, 8. How to conclude those sorrowful lines, all you that's standing by, Implore the Blessed Virgin & her son Who rules on high, For to give mercy to their Souls, let all you Christians pray, I hope the Lord may pardon them, upon the judgement day.
