Rhyme Scheme: AABBCCDE FFGHIIDE JKKBBDE LLFFMNDE| Mother Darling mother you are seeking me I know | A |
| And I feel thy love will follow through the world where'er I go | A |
| But I cannot come dear mother I am sadly altered now | B |
| The once fair wreath of innocence that garlanded my brow | B |
| Has faded ne'er to bloom again and from the things of yore | C |
| The fair the good the beautiful I'm severed ever more | C |
| My onward way must be a path of darkness and of pain | D |
| But I must tread it all alone I cannot come again | E |
| - | |
| Of all the changes that have come I know that this will be | F |
| Where all the changes have been sad the saddest change to thee | F |
| I know how much thou'lt weep mother for thy dear boy so lost | G |
| And 'tis the sorrow thou must feel that makes me sorrow most | H |
| I strove against this darker fate I struggled mother long | I |
| I starved and suffered months mother ere I was linked to wrong | I |
| And even now good angels plead to win me but in vain | D |
| Once fallen is forever lost I cannot come again | E |
| - | |
| I'm severed from thee by my sin but cannot say 'forget ' | - |
| Thy love is such a hollowed thing I ask it even yet | J |
| But let it be a memory that images all fair | K |
| The child that with uplifted hands in faith knelt by thy chair | K |
| Think of me mother as I was when joy lit up my brow | B |
| And my young heart was innocent but not as I am now | B |
| Pray for me This I know thou'lt do but seek me not 'tis vain | D |
| I'd throw a shadow on thy home I cannot come again | E |
| - | |
| They say that in desert drear some greenness may be found | L |
| Some oasis in contrast strange to all the waste around | L |
| And even thus within my heart guilt darkened though it be | F |
| There is a love all beautiful that lives and clings to thee | F |
| I'm weeping very bitterly I cannot help these tears | M |
| They are the tribute memory pays to joys of fleeted years | N |
| Goodbye God bless thee mother dear I sorrow for thy pain | D |
| Oh If I were but innocent I'd gladly come again | E |
