And with health is his strength fast leaving him too.
From his home in the country to the city he went,
Where kind brothers procured him good medical aid;
But all was in vain—Death commissioned was sent,
And soon his remains in the cold grave were laid.

His brothers and sisters and parents on earth;
And never by parents may those children be seen,
Or the latter revisit the land of their birth.
But sooner or later they all must be borne
