Summary

P. R. Chalmers,  Punch, Volume 147, Issue 3810… (19th and 20th century)

“ The song of the ravens, "Dead Men's Bones!"
When the last of mankind lie slain
On Armageddon's field,
When the last red west has ta'en
The last day's flaming shield,
There shall sit when time shadows run
(D'you doubt, good Sirs, d'you doubt?)
His last rogue son on an empty gun
To see an old world out;
And he'll croak (as to Robinson, Brown and Jones)
The song of the ravens, "Dead Men's' Bones!"
”
