Song, James Bird, page 1

James Bird /Time-"The Tempest"/

Sons of freedom, listen to me,
And ye daughters too give ear[! or ;]
You a sad and mournful story,
As was ever told shall hear.

Hull you know his troops surrender'd,
And defenceless left the West[! or ;]
Then our forces quick assembled,
The invader to resist.

Amongst the troops that marched to Erie,
Were the Kingston Volunteers[! or ;]
Captain Thomas them commanded,
To protect our West frontiers.

Tender were the scenes of parting,
Mothers wrung their hands and cried[! or ;]
Maidens wept their swains in secret,
Fathers strove their hearts to hide.

But there's one among the numbers,
Tall and graceful in his mien[! or ;]
Firm his step, his look undaunted,
