Breazeale, Sr. or Elijah B. Breazeale, Jr. because George W. Breazeale, the one who copied and dedicated the poem was a grandson of E.B. Sr. and son of E.B. Jr. and he only listed the author of the poem as Elijah B. Breazeale. "The below words together with the tune was dreampt and drawn off by E. B. Breazeale and is dedicated to his memory by George W. Breazeale"

WARNING by Elijah B. Breazeale

Dear people, all attention give, And hear what I will tell to you As I lay slumbering on my bed, These words and tune came in my head.

Two sisters that is dead and gone they sang these words and tune to me. I sang with them this tune to learn, I awoke it was a dream.

Dear brother: we were sent to you, To warn you all to watch and pray. Go tell my sisters, brothers too. To persevere, and faithful be.

They said Gods law is just and true. He says His word must be obeyed. Then persevere and faithful be, And you'll be saved in that great day.

Dear mother now we turn to you, We hope to meet you on that day. Where sorrow, trouble all shall cease, And we shall be in perfect peace.

If you get weary here on earth, Then look to God He is your friend; Lift up your eyes to Him, and He will give you grace sufficiently.

We know your trials here are great, Your crown will only brighter be. He wipes away his servents tears, And saves you all hight up in heaven.

Dear mother, brothers, sisters too. We must beid you all adieu. Our Savior calls, we must obey. Farewell until the Judgement day.
