Just a shriek of pain<br>I pray to never hear again--<br>A withered woman, old and bowed,<br>That fell and crawled and cried aloud--</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And kissed the dead man's matted hair--<br>Lifted his face and kissed him there--<br>Called to him, as she clutched his hand,<br>In words no one could understand.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Insane? Yes.--Well, we, searching, found<br>An unsigned letter, in a round<br>Free hand, within the dead man's breast:<br>'Look to my mother--_I'm_ at rest.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">You'll find my money safely hid<br>Under the lining of the lid<br>Of my work-basket.
