Descriptive data for this set (listed below slide images)

Slide 1

Ragged, wretched, worn and weary, / Come the casuals, creeping in

Slide 2

Here, through all the long night watches, / Want and woe can rest their heads

Slide 3

Look where lies a woman sleeping, / Moaning even in her rest

Slide 4

(Effect) Faint and footsore, broken-hearted, / Cold and hunger did their work

Slide 5

(Effect) And he cried, 'O God, have mercy / On my darlings when I'm dead!'

Slide 6

Sits among the poor who worship / In the sittings labelled 'Free'

Slide 7

And a homeless creature totters / From God's temple with the rest

Slide 8

She is lost upon the moorland / Daylight's last faint glimmer fled

Slide 9

'Go, O baby dear!' she murmurs, / 'From my breast, all cold and dry'
