</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Then the man replied, I hope there's no danger, Jenny, my lass,<br>But whatsoever God has ordained will come to pass;<br>And just as he said so the windlass handle swung round,<br>And struck him on the forehead, and he fell to the ground. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And when Jenny saw the blood streaming from the fallen man's head,<br>She rushed to the mouth of the shaft without any dread,<br>And Jenny called loudly, but received no reply,<br>So to her brother standing near by she heaved a deep sigh. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Telling him to run for assistance, while she swung herself on to the hand-rope,<br>Resolved to save Jack Allingford's life as she earnestly did hope;<br>And as she proceeded down the shaft at a quick pace,<br>The brave heroine knew that death was staring her in the face. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And the rope was burning her hands as she descended,<br>But she thought if she saved Jack her task would be ended;<br>And when she reached the bottom of the mine she did not hesitate,<br>But bounding towards Jack Allingford, who was lying seemingly inanimate. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And as she approached his body the hissing fuse burst upon her ears,<br>But still the noble girl no danger fears;<br>While the hissing of the fuse was like an engine grinding upon her brain,<br>Still she resolved to save Jack while life in her body did remain. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">She noticed a small jet of smoke issuing from a hole near his head,<br>And if he'd lain a few seconds longer there he'd been killed dead,<br>But God had sent an angel to his rescue,<br>For seizing him by the arms his body to the air shaft she drew. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">It was a supernatural effort, but she succeeded at last,<br>And Jenny thanked God when the danger was past,<br>But at the same instant the silence was broke<br>By a loud explosion, which soon filled the mine with smoke. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">But, oh, God be thanked! the greatest danger was past,<br>But when Jenny saw Jack Allingford, she stood aghast,<br>Because the blood was issuing from his nest and ears,<br>And as Jenny viewed his wounds she shed many tears. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">But heroic Jenny was not one of the fainting sort,<br>For immediately to the mouth of the mine she did resort,<br>And she called loudly for help, the noble lass,<br>And her cry was answered by voices above at the windlass. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">So there were plenty to volunteer their services below,<br>And the rope was attached to the windlass, and down they did go,<br>And Jack Allingford and Jenny were raised to the top,<br>While Jenny, noble soul, with exhaustion was like to drop. </div><div style="margin:10px 0">And when the miners saw her safe above there was a burst of applause,<br>Because she had rescued Jack Allingford from death's jaws;<br>So all ye that read or hear this story, I have but to say,<br>That Jenny Carrister was the noblest heroine I've ever heard of in my day.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=William+Topaz+McGonagall">William Topaz McGonagall</a><div class=q>
