(7) _Various Broadsheets, Popular Songs, etc._, about Miss Nightingale (see Vol. I. p. 266). A collection of them is preserved amongst her Papers. The following is the text of the most popular of the Songs:--

On a dark lonely night on the Crimea's dread shore
There had been bloodshed and strife on the morning before;
The dead and the dying lay bleeding around,
Some crying for help--there was none to be found.
Now God in His mercy He pitied their cries,
And the soldiers so cheerful in the morning do arise.
_So forward, my lads, may your hearts never fail
You are cheered by the presence of a sweet Nightingale._

Now God sent this woman to succour the brave;
Some thousands she saved from an untimely grave.
Her eyes beam with pleasure, she's beauteous and good,
The wants of the wounded are by her understood.
With fever some brought in, with life almost gone,
Some with dismantled limbs, some to fragments are torn.
_But they keep up their spirits, their hearts never fail,
They are cheered by the presence of a sweet Nightingale._

Her heart it means good, for no bounty she'll take,
She'd lay down her life for the poor soldier's sake;
She prays for the dying, she gives peace to the brave,
She feels that a soldier has a soul to be saved.
The wounded they love her as it has been seen,
She's the soldier's preserver, they call her their Queen.
_May God give her strength, and her heart never fail,
One of Heaven's best gifts is Miss Nightingale._

The wives of the wounded, how thankful are they!
Their husbands are cared for by night and by day.
Whatever her country, this gift God has given,
And the soldiers they say she's an Angel from Heaven.
All praise to this woman, and deny it who can
That woman was sent as a comfort to man:
_Let's hope that no more against them you'll rail,
Treat them well, and they'll prove like Miss Nightingale._

Davis was one of Miss Stanley's party. She served as cook in the
General Hospital at Balaclava. Though the work of an obviously
uneducated and prejudiced woman, the book is useful as illustrating
the intrigue against Miss Nightingale in the Crimea, and as
reflecting the hostility which her strict discipline excited among
some of the nurses. The book is not to be trusted. Miss Nightingale
made very pungent remarks on this old woman's romancing about Lord
Raglan and others.
