    Despair for the children
    who lie now in bed.
    The widow, the aged
    the soldier who bled.
    For out of the "Nation"
    comes a sickness and curse -
    God save us all
    From the demon called Hurst.

    Like vandals of old
    through our land they did ride
    With Hunger and Death
    always close by their side.
    Came Terror, his herald -
    but the wailing comes first . . .
    We know he is coming,
    That demon called Hurst.
