Hanging from the beam,
Slowly swaying (such the law),
Gaunt the shadow on your green,
Shenandoah!
The cut is on the crown
(Lo, John Brown),
And the stabs shall heal no more.

“‘Tis bad enough, in man or woman,
To steal a goose from off a common;
But surely he’s without excuse
Who steals the common from the goose.”
