Subject: RE: Lyr Add: DAWNING OF THE DAY
Liland, thanks for working out another version from the first half of the 19th C. At least she has a name in this one (Kate). She is nameless in most, I think.
?? Hold her to my tender ? (something meaning breast?) The -'e perhaps is indicating some old usage.
"To the Kirk she went straightway" seems to be the other line. A lot of these old ephemera have bad type, grammar and spelling. I have even gone so far as to put a couple through Adobe to improve legibility somewhat before printing.
