When at my father's side, And glowing scenes of pleasure
Before my vision" glide. O, how pleasant too the quiet eve:

To guide his little boy.

Stand trembling in her eye [days While she said she dreamed of future
Of bliss without alloy, And prayed that heaven would shower
Rich blessings on her boy. [down
