Adieu to kindred hearts and home	A
To pleasure joy and mirth	B
A fitter foot than mine to roam	A
Could scarcely tread the earth	B
For they are now so few indeed	C
Not more than three in all	D
Who e'er will think of me or heed	C
What fate may me befall	D
	-
For I through pleasure's paths have run	E
My headlong goal to win	F
Nor pleasure's snares have cared to shun	E
When pleasure sweetened sin	F
Let those who will their failings mask	G
To mine I frankly own	H
But for them pardon will I ask	G
Of none save Heaven alone	H
	-
From carping friends I turn aside	I
At foes defiance frown	J
Yet time may tame my stubborn pride	I
And break my spirit down	J
Still if to error I incline	K
Truth whispers comfort strong	L
That never reckless act of mine	K
E'er worked a comrade wrong	L
	-
My mother is a stately dame	M
Who oft would chide with me	N
She saith my riot bringeth shame	M
And stains my pedigree	N
I'd reck not what my friends might know	O
Or what the world might say	P
Did I but think some tears would flow	O
When I am far away	P
	-
Perchance my mother will recall	D
My mem'ry with a sigh	Q
My gentle sister's tears may fall	D
And dim her laughing eye	Q
Perhaps a loving thought may gleam	R
And fringe its saddened ray	P
When like a nightmare's troubled dream	R
I outcast pass away	P
	-
Then once again farewell to those	S
Whoe'er for me have sighed	I
For pleasures melt away like snows	S
And hopes like shadows glide	I
Adieu my mother if no more	T
Thy son's face thou may'st see	N
At least those many cares are o'er	U
So ofttimes caused by me	N
	-
My lot is fixed The die is cast	V
For me home hath no joy	W
Oh pardon then all follies past	V
And bless your wayward boy	W
And thou from whom for aye to part	X
Grieves more than tongue can tell	Y
May Heaven preserve thy guileless heart	X
Sweet sister fare thee well	Y
	-
Thou too whose loving kindness makes	Z
My resolution less	A2
While from the bitter past it takes	Z
One half its bitterness	B2
If e'er you held my mem'ry dear	C2
Grant this request I pray	P
Give to that mem'ry one bright tear	D2
And let it pass away	P
