Child of my love why wearest thouA
That pensive look and thoughtful browA
Can st gaze abroad on this world so fairB
And yet thy glance be fraught with careB
Roses still bloom in glowing dyesC
Sunshine still fills our summer skiesC
Earth is still lovely nature gladD
Why dost thou look so lone and sadD
-
Ah mother it once sufficed thy childE
To cherish a bird or flow ret wildE
To see the moonbeams the waters kissF
Was enough to fill her heart with blissF
Or o er the bright woodland stream to bowA
But these things may not suffice her nowA
-
Perhaps tis music thou seekest childE
Then list the notes of the song birds wildE
The gentle voice of the mountain breezeG
Whispering among the dark pine treesG
The surge sublime of the sounding mainH
Or thy own loved lute s soft silvery strainH
-
Mother there s music sweeter I knowI
Than bird s soft note or than ocean s flowI
Vague to me yet as sounds of a dreamJ
Yet dearer brighter than sunshine s gleamJ
Such is the music I fain would hearK
All other sounds but tire mine earK
-
Ah thou seekest then a loving heartL
That in all thy griefs will bear a partL
That shelter will give in doubt and fearM
Come to me loved one thou lt find it hereK
-
Sweet mother I almost fear to speakN
And remorseful blushes dye my cheekN
For though thou st watched me from childhood s hourO
As thou would st have done a precious flowerO
Though I love thee still as I did of yoreP
Yet this weak heart seeketh something moreP
-
A bliss as yet to my life unknownQ
A heart whose throbs will be all mine ownQ
The tender tones of a cherished voiceR
Of him who shall be my heart s first choiceR
And who at my feet alone shall bowA
This this is the dream that haunts me nowA
-
Alas poor child has it come to thisF
Then bid farewell to thy childhood s blissF
To thy girlhood s bright unfettered hoursS
Thy sunny revels mid birds and flowersS
Of the golden zone yield up each strandT
To cling to a hope unstable as sandT
And forget the joys thy youth hath woveU
In the stormy doubts of human loveV
The feverish hopes and wearing painH
That form the links of Love s bright chainH
Alas the mother spoke in vainH
-
The girl s dream was soon fulfilledW
Her hopes by no dark cloud were chilledW
A lover ardent noble tooX
With flashing eyes of jetty hueX
With voice like music sweet and softY
Such as her dreams had pictured oftZ
Now at her feet a suppliant bowedA2
And love eternal changeless vowedA2
-
Listening then with glowing cheekN
And rapture which no words might speakN
She thought with bright and joyous smileB2
They erred who thus could love revileB2
Or say it had many a dark alloyC2
Had it not proved a dream of joyC2
-
But alas for her she learned too soonD2
That love is fleeting as rose of JuneD2
That her eyes might shine with olden lightE2
And yet be found no longer brightE2
That she might devoted faithful proveF2
Yet her lover grow weary of her loveV
Many an hour of silent tearsG2
Of heart sick doubts of humbling fearsH2
Of angry regrets were hers beforeP
Her heart would say He loves no moreP
-
Weary of life and its thorny waysI2
She sought the friend of her early daysI2
Mother I bring thee a breaking heartL
In sorrows deep it hath borne a partL
Speak to me tenderly as of yoreP
Let thy kiss rest on my brow once moreP
To the joys of my girlhood back I fleeJ2
To live alone for them and for theeJ2
