Was he loved? Was she wed? Was she daughter or wife,
Or sister? The world may not read
Her story or his. They are lost with the life—
Recorded, "A tramp was found dead!"
"Found dead by the way," in the gloom and the cold—
The boy whom a mother had kissed,
The son whom a father could proudly enfold,
The brother a sister had missed!
"Found dead by the way!" whom a maiden's first love
Had hallowed—e'en worshipped in part,
