Thou too art dead very kindA
Hast thou been to me in my childish daysB
Thou best good creature I have not forgotC
How thou didst love thy Charles when he was yetD
A prating school boy I have not forgotC
The busy joy on that important dayE
When child like the poor wanderer was contentF
To leave the bosom of parental loveG
His childhood's play place and his early homeH
For the rude fosterings of a stranger's handI
Hard uncouth tasks and school boy's scanty fareJ
How did thine eye peruse him round and roundK
And hardly know him in his yellow coatsL
Red leathern belt and gown of russet blueM
Farewell good auntN
Go thou and occupy the same grave bedO
Where the dead mother liesP
Oh my dear mother oh thou dear dead saintQ
Where's now that placid face where oft hath satR
A mother's smile to think her son should thriveS
In this bad world when she was dead and goneT
And where a tear hath sat take shame O sonU
When that same child has prov'd himself unkindA
One parent yet is left a wretched thingV
A sad survivor of his buried wifeW
A palsy smitten childish old old manX
A semblance most forlorn of what he wasY
A merry cheerful man A merrier manX
A man more apt to frame matter for mirthZ
Mad jokes and anticks for a Christmas eveA2
Making life social and the laggard timeB2
To move on nimbly never yet did cheerC2
The little circle of domestic friendsD2
