Charity.

On The twentieth OF May
Was a wild and weird day
And many homes were swept away.
Many a poor mortal was struck down,
And many a MANNED body was found,
As kind people rush'd to the ground.
All along the road the debris lay.
Upon that fatal and unlucky day;
No human land the storm could stay.
But when hearts were torn and riven,
Many kin friends to such were given,
To cheer with hope, and help even.
The Mexico people did their very best
To relieve those who were distressed,
And kindly put the dead away to rest.
