The spirits walk in the realms of air
With their glowing faces and flaming hair,
And the shrill, chill winds o'er the prairies blow.

Draw over an old ember --as the mother

Relieve them with the extend of your capability,
Rather than looking at things which makes us attach.

Each had a loving friend, and two of these
Most clearly managed matters at their ease.

Ruth
All is wellâ??in a prisonâ??to-night, and the warders are crying â??Allâ??s Well!â??

Iâ??m as free as I ever shall beâ??there is naught in my life to fulfil.

Old Town Types No.2 - Red Matt

Whispers Of Heavenly Death
