GUEST Songs About Disease (99* d) RE: Songs About Disease 27 Mar 23


The Rudyard Kipling \ Peter Bellamy song Our Fathers of Old has a verse about the plague

Yet when the sickness was sore in the land,
And neither planet nor herb assuaged,
They took their lives in their lancet-hand
And, oh, what a wonderful war they waged!
Yes, when the crosses were chalked on the door—
Yes, when the terrible dead-cart rolled,
Excellent courage our fathers bore—
Excellent heart had our fathers of old.
Not too learned, but nobly bold,
And into the fight went our fathers of old.
