| That pensive look and thoughtful brow | A |
| Can st gaze abroad on this world so fair | B |
| And yet thy glance be fraught with care | B |
| Roses still bloom in glowing dyes | C |
| Sunshine still fills our summer skies | C |
| Earth is still lovely nature glad | D |
| Why dost thou look so lone and sad | D |
| - | |
| Ah mother it once sufficed thy child | E |
| To cherish a bird or flow ret wild | E |
| To see the moonbeams the waters kiss | F |
| Was enough to fill her heart with bliss | F |
| Or o er the bright woodland stream to bow | A |
| But these things may not suffice her now | A |
| - | |
| Perhaps tis music thou seekest child | E |
| Then list the notes of the song birds wild | E |
| The gentle voice of the mountain breeze | G |
| Whispering among the dark pine trees | G |
| The surge sublime of the sounding main | H |
| Or thy own loved lute s soft silvery strain | H |
| - | |
| Mother there s music sweeter I know | I |
| Than bird s soft note or than ocean s flow | I |
| Vague to me yet as sounds of a dream | J |
| Yet dearer brighter than sunshine s gleam | J |
| Such is the music I fain would hear | K |
| All other sounds but tire mine ear | K |
| - | |
| Ah thou seekest then a loving heart | L |
| That in all thy griefs will bear a part | L |
| That shelter will give in doubt and fear | M |
| Come to me loved one thou lt find it here | K |
| - | |
| Sweet mother I almost fear to speak | N |
| And remorseful blushes dye my cheek | N |
| For though thou st watched me from childhood s hour | O |
| As thou would st have done a precious flower | O |
| Though I love thee still as I did of yore | P |
| Yet this weak heart seeketh something more | P |
| - | |
| A bliss as yet to my life unknown | Q |
| A heart whose throbs will be all mine own | Q |
| The tender tones of a cherished voice | R |
| Of him who shall be my heart s first choice | R |
| And who at my feet alone shall bow | A |
| This this is the dream that haunts me now | A |
| - | |
| Alas poor child has it come to this | F |
| Then bid farewell to thy childhood s bliss | F |
| To thy girlhood s bright unfettered hours | S |
| Thy sunny revels mid birds and flowers | S |
| Of the golden zone yield up each strand | T |
| To cling to a hope unstable as sand | T |
| And forget the joys thy youth hath wove | U |
| In the stormy doubts of human love | V |
| The feverish hopes and wearing pain | H |
| That form the links of Love s bright chain | H |
| Alas the mother spoke in vain | H |
| - | |
| The girl s dream was soon fulfilled | W |
| Her hopes by no dark cloud were chilled | W |
| A lover ardent noble too | X |
| With flashing eyes of jetty hue | X |
| With voice like music sweet and soft | Y |
| Such as her dreams had pictured oft | Z |
| Now at her feet a suppliant bowed | A2 |
| And love eternal changeless vowed | A2 |
| - | |
| Listening then with glowing cheek | N |
| And rapture which no words might speak | N |
| She thought with bright and joyous smile | B2 |
| They erred who thus could love revile | B2 |
| Or say it had many a dark alloy | C2 |
| Had it not proved a dream of joy | C2 |
| - | |
| But alas for her she learned too soon | D2 |
| That love is fleeting as rose of June | D2 |
| That her eyes might shine with olden light | E2 |
| And yet be found no longer bright | E2 |
| That she might devoted faithful prove | F2 |
| Yet her lover grow weary of her love | V |
| Many an hour of silent tears | G2 |
| Of heart sick doubts of humbling fears | H2 |
| Of angry regrets were hers before | P |
| Her heart would say He loves no more | P |
| - | |
| Weary of life and its thorny ways | I2 |
| She sought the friend of her early days | I2 |
| Mother I bring thee a breaking heart | L |
| In sorrows deep it hath borne a part | L |
| Speak to me tenderly as of yore | P |
| Let thy kiss rest on my brow once more | P |
| To the joys of my girlhood back I flee | J2 |
| To live alone for them and for thee | J2 |
