George Shiffler
It will be remembered that this young man was shot on the 6th of May, 1844, in the Kensington Riots, by a Band of Foreigners
Americans, attention give,
I'll sing a solemn lay,
In memory of a much loved one,
Slain on the Sixth of May...........REPEAT.
He was his mother's only son,--
The Widow's heart is sore,
She weeps, she mourns that he is gone,
GEORGE SHIFFLER is no more.
Cut off in all the prime of youth,
This noble young man fell,
Slain by a ruthless Foreign Band,
Hark! hear his funeral knell.
"I die, I die," he nobly said,
"But in a glorious cause,
In exercise of Freedom's Rights,
My Country and her Laws."
Although he's dead he speaks aloud,
Americans to thee,
Arise! Columbia's sons, arise,
In all your majesty.
Protect your Country, and her Laws,
Come to the Rescue, come,
We'll put all Foreign influence down,
Arise! Protect your Home,
Our Flag's insulted, friends are slain,
And must we quiet be?
No! no! we'll Rally round the Flag,
Which leads to Victory.
