‘REDUCED TO CLEAR’—
Just above his head-
On the edge of manhood-
His Mother on the edge of sanity-
He stood—His mantle bearing their shame-
I wonder-will he know My Shame.
"Shall glad your heart, shall give you hope, Shall give you health, and help, and hope, My Dark Rosaleen!" J.C.Mangan
‘REDUCED TO CLEAR’—
