Prime hunt upon the trail
Bring down upon the flail
Bearing child's play
Within dangers day
Parental white
Brings as a blight
Evil on Endless night
Soul shed to make colored right
Boy who plays
Boy in vain
All falls the soldiers bane
Soon would be followed by deaths cain
Mind of Joshua Davis breaks the left
Ears of deaf
Eyes of seen
Voices reep a richless seem
Unto the hand the message comes
"I am deaf" the hands do sum
In others minds the hands do lie
Summoning ageless sleep to the spy
Soldiers of north
Go on and forth
Seek the rope of death to cry
"Wait! dont kill the spy says I"
Savior on horse brings life reborn
Before poor Josh's soul was torn
"Deaf to the world has brought you now?"
"Yes sir it has, and how."
Savior on horse saved his life
Using sign as the knife
Cutting the ropes that bound
Josh, was simply deaf to sound
Boys play games of fun
Even hunting squirrels with gun
Found in a field by fate of chance
Josh almost ran Devil's Dance
