THE Gypsy SONG.
To-monow's Rndnor's plain,
Shall see the Sax by Saxon slain;
Tomorrow the embalIled field,
When man meets man, and none shall yield;
Toe Gypsy from Pynlmmon's height
With stTGning eye shall view tho fight.
Then vengeance waits the robber band
By worst Of fucs-by brothers hand;
The fields shall run with Saxon gore
The Gpsy's heart shall Joy more;
Let 'uuTes tear the p. ind corpse,
In ned, and ditch, and tangled copse.
Their bones shall bleach in yondor vale,
Nor l-ng shall tell the sckennR tale;
COLLECTED by the GipEys ire,
Their bones shall feed the Gpsy's frei
Their ashes shall with songs be given,
To the winds Of vengefu Heaven.
Your hands This night well dance and sing,
And doom he Sax to Sygan King:
Tomorrow. eve, these hands shall spoil,
The SaGon's Gypsy soil
Chorus To.mOrrow's eve, &c.
