Brother- Death, please mind the store

Harmonium

A harmonium is much bigger and has pedals, to be pushed by feet, not by hands.

It's an Indian lap organ.

Anybody know what that instrument is? I want to say it's a harmonium..?

O Children Deaths, go breathe your breaths
Sobbing breasts'll ease your deaths
Pain is gone, tears take the rest

I love this stanza
