Transcriber's Note:
The [ stanza ] of poetry quoted in Scott Farm is from The Reaper and The Flowers by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. This same stanza, with a slight variation, can be found in Woman's Endurance, by A. D. L., B.A., Chaplain in the Concentration Camp, Bethulie, O.R.C., PG EText-No. 16859. The complete poem, again with a slightly different first stanza, can be found in The Complete Poems of Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, PG EText No. 1365.
