A blight Is falling on the fair,
And Hope is dying In despair,
And Terror walketh everywhere.
All the hours, are full of tears
Oh. my God woe are we!
Grief keeps watch In brightest eyes
Every heart is strung with tears
Woe are wei woe are wei
Ali the light hath left the skies,
And the living awe struck crowds
See above them only clouds
And around them only shrOuds.
All the terrible farewells!
Woe are they'll woe are tneyl
