"The birth-day or the wedding day,

Let happier mourners keep;
To death my festal vows I pay,

And try in vain to weep.

Some griefs the strongest soul might shake,

And I such grief have had;

My brain is hot-but they mistake,

Who deem that I am mad.

My father died, my mother died,

Four orphans poor were we;

My brother John worked hard, and tried

To smile on Jane and me.

But work grew scarce, while bread grew dear,

And wages lessened too,

For Irish hordes were bidders here

Our half-paid work to do.

Yet still he strove, with failing breath,

And sinking cheek, to save

Consumptive Jane from early death

Then joined her in the grave.
His watery hand in mine I took,
And kissed him till he slept;
O, still I see his dying look!
He tried to smile, and wept!
I bought his cofin with my bed,

My gown bought earth and prayer;

I pawned my mother's ring for bread,

I pawned my father's chair.

My Bible yet remains to sell,

And yet unsold shall be;

But language fails my woes to tell

Even crumbs were scarce with me.

I sold poor Jane's gray linnet then,
It cost a groat a year;

I sold John's hen, and missed the hen
When eggs were selling dear;

For autumn nights seemed wintry cold,

While seldom blazed my fire,

And eight times eight no more I sold
When eggs were getting higher.

But still I glean the moor and heath;

I wash, they say, with skill;

And workhouse-bread ne'er crossed my teeth

I trust it never will.

But when the day on which John died
