The Scene a desolate Tract in la Vendee Famine is discovered	A
lying on the ground to her enter Fire and Slaughter	B
	-
Fam Sister sisters who sent you here	C
Slau to Fire I will whisper it in her ear	C
Fire No no no	D
Spirits hear what spirits tell	E
'Twill make a holiday in Hell	E
No no no	D
Myself I named him once below	D
And all the souls that damned be	F
Leaped up at once in anarchy	F
Clapped their hands and danced for glee	F
They no longer heeded me	F
But laughed to hear Hell's burning rafters	G
Unwillingly re echo laughters	G
No no no	D
Spirits hear what spirits tell	E
'Twill make a holiday in Hell	E
Fam Whisper it sister so and so	D
In a dark hint soft and slow	D
Slau Letters four do form his name	H
And who sent you	I
Both The same the same	H
Slau He came by stealth and unlocked my den	J
And I have drunk the blood since then	J
Of thrice three hundred thousand men	J
Both Who bade you do it	K
Slau The same the same	H
Letters four do form his name	H
He let me loose and cried Halloo	D
To him alone the praise is due	I
Fam Thanks sister thanks the men have bled	L
Their wives and their children faint for bread	L
I stood in a swampy field of battle	D
With bones and skulls I made a rattle	D
To frighten the wolf and carrion crow	D
And the homeless dog but they would not go	D
So off I flew for how could I bear	M
To see them gorge their dainty fare	M
I heard a groan and a peevish squall	D
And through the chink of a cottage wall	D
Can you guess what I saw there	M
Both Whisper it sister in our ear	C
Fam A baby beat its dying mother	B
I had starved the one and was starving the other	B
Both Who bade you do't	F
Fam The same the same	H
Letters four do form his name	H
He let me loose and cried Halloo	D
To him alone the praise is due	I
Fire Sisters I from Ireland came	H
Hedge and corn fields all on flame	H
I triumphed o'er the setting sun	N
And all the while the work was done	N
On as I strode with my huge strides	G
I flung back my head and I held my sides	G
It was so rare a piece of fun	N
To see the sweltered cattle run	N
With uncouth gallop through the night	O
Scared by the red and noisy light	O
By the light of his own blazing cot	P
Was many a naked rebel shot	P
The house stream met the flame and hissed	Q
While crash fell in the roof I wist	Q
On some of those old bed rid nurses	G
That deal in discontent and curses	G
Both Who bade you do't	F
Fire The same the same	H
Letters four do form his name	H
He let me loose and cried Halloo	D
To him alone the praise is due	I
All He let us loose and cried Halloo	D
How shall we yield him honor due	I
Fam Wisdom comes with lack of food	R
I'll gnaw I'll gnaw the multitude	R
Till the cup of rage o'erbrim	H
They shall seize him and his brood	R
Slau They shall tear him limb from limb	H
Fire O thankless beldames and untrue	I
And is this all that you can do	I
For him who did so much for you	I
Ninety months he by my troth	S
Hath richly catered for you both	S
And in an hour would you repay	T
An eight years' work Away away	T
I alone am faithful I	U
Cling to him everlastingly	D
