SUMMARIZE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Gone, gone,—sold and gone,
To the rice-swamp dank and lone,
From Virginia’s hills and waters;
Woe is me, my stolen daughters!

This again represents either slaves or indentured slaves. Virginia was known for it's high slave population and the last line "Woe is me, my stolen daughters!" represents either this man or woman's stolen daughter. Probably stolen for a future wife or slave.
