Summary: | Erin has her hands in chains and covers her face; a small boy tugs at her dress. Through the open window can be seen large numbers of soldiers marching. Caption handwritten above image reads: Young Ireland: "Why are you weeping, mother? The soldiers are going." Ireland: "That cannot be true, my child. They are not marching away. And who is keeping them here? Why am I still in bondage, and why are my children in prison?" |
