"Down among the Cane-Brakes"

Down among the cane brakes

There lived my mother dear
Gone from the earth I fear
Her voice was ever dear
 Down among the cane brakes
There rang our voices clar
 down among the cane brakes
    
Long years have flitted by
Since there I breathed each sigh
May I return to die
 Down among the cane brakes
    

There lived a lovely one
[?] Who like the rest has gone
 She might have been my own
  Down among +c.
