"CAROLINA."
Written for The Herald and News.
Wail, Carolina, wail!
Put dust upon thy head!
Thou mournest now thy honor lost
Has it forever fled?
Red-handed Jurder stalks
Abroad o' ir all the land;
Unblushing, with a brazen face,
And slays on either hand.
Murder was cowardl once,
But now he has no fears;
Not guilty, is the verdict by
A jury of his peers.
The brand of Cain is there
Upon red Murder's brow;
The verdict cannot take away
The mark that is there now.
He goes, where 01(d Cain went,
Down to the land of Nod;
The land of outcast vagabonds,
To try to hide from God.
God puts on him a mark,
A burning, fiery brand,
So that he may be known as Cain
He cannot cleanse his hand.
