This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... THE SONS OF CAIN God that we serve with blood, how long Shall the old debt remain? How long shall we to soothe Thy lust Present Thee with our slain? Lo, our hearts break from day to day Who are the sons of Cain. This earth begets a living fruit To him that laboreth. He brought its innocence, its smiles, Its sweet and pleasant breath.
