The night was dark in Ireland
The rain was falling down.
And death was stealing to the heart
Oflttle Willie Brown.
He lay upon lis mothers knee,
And looked within her eyes
OF summers he had known but three,
And they were three Of sghs.
He looked within her gentle eyes,
And tried in vain 10 speak,
For the rose had dimly ftded
From the lily on his cheek.

Her darling would have said,
! For there he lay dying
/ Dying for want of bread.
The rain. upon the grassy roof,
Came wildly rushing down,
And angels waited for the soul
