And many a sight I spied.
Castle towers shady bowers
And lawns extending wide
And lawns extending wide my

Fair and free where the wild
Fowl run in noon day sun
In sweet security.

Pray tell me if you can
Or where for this deserted house
Through its rood the rains comes down
Behold the bailiff's work he said
And he cursed the agent Brown
He turned out the orphan boy
And his sisters too also.
Little he cared how they fared
Or where they had to go
The sheriff and the bailiff came
And the forces of the brown
The old old game was played the same
And he curced the agent Brown.(continues on next page)
