Excerpt from Anderson’s Cumberland Ballads and Songs: Centenary Edition, Edited, With Life of Anderson Notes
And followed Nature up to Nature’s God, But o’er his end the Muse must draw a veil, N or here relate the mind-distressing tale His friends deplore his loss with many a tear, And o’er his tomb this humble tribute rear.
The lines are from the pen of the Rev. John Hope, for many years the respected Rector of Staple ton, and equally well known as a Scholar, a Teacher, and a Divine, It may be taken for granted that there was much in that box relating to Anderson and the Cumberland Ballads, as the two poets were at that time in close communion.
