  • ’t Was the body of Judas Iscariot
      Lay in the Field of Blood;
    ’T was the soul of Judas Iscariot
      Beside the body stood.

    Black was the earth by night,
      And black was the sky;
    Black, black were the broken clouds,
      Tho’ the red Moon went...

  •   MY girl hath violet eyes and yellow hair,
    A soft hand, like a lady’s, small and fair,
    A sweet fate pouting in a white straw bonnet,
    A tiny foot, and little boot upon it;
    And all her finery to charm beholders
    Is the gray shawl drawn tight around her...
