a lasting spot he seen

he came into my view.

climbed up to a lofty spot
F#m
D
Oh, and there upon that craggy old rock
Em
where the sun most ne 'er had reached,
there lay the bones of an infant
D

one the elements had bleached.
I hurried up those craggy rocks.
Em
I could not stay awake.
I knew that was my infant's bones
just hasting to decay.
But the tattered garment,
it still remained,
Though tore to many a shred.
Oh, the crimsy cap that he wore that morn
Was still upon his head.
