In the nii<lKt of the river, not fur from the s'lore
They sank, h(]|)if.ss victim.s, to rise nevermore.
The scenes weie heartrending, no pen can |t(>rtray
The wails of the dyius.', their 'sS^nW.'i of dismay.
There were lovers and brothers that nijih'^, went to sleup,
And found a cold gravo in that water • . deop,
