In sorrow and woe.

That poor mourning Mother, of Reason bereft,

Soon ended her sorrows, and sunk cold in death;

Thus died that Slave Mother, poor heart-broken Mother,

In sorrow and woe.

Oh! list ye kind Mothers to the cries of the Slave;

The Parents and Children implore you to save;

Go! rescue the Mothers, the Sisters and Brothers,

From sorrow and woe.
