5955 John Gardiner Calkins Brainard 1795-1828 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:5955
AUTHOR:John Gardiner Calkins Brainard (1795–1828)
QUOTATION:At the piping of all hands,
  When the judgment-signal ’s spread—
When the islands and the lands
  And the seas give up their dead,
And the South and North shall come;
  When the sinner is dismayed,
  And the just man is afraid,
  Then Heaven be thy aid,
          Poor Tom.
ATTRIBUTION:Lament for Long Tom.
