"O thou, my first born blessing, / It almost broke my heart / When thou wert forced to go; / And yet for thee I know, / Twas better to depart.

"God took thee in His mercy, /k A lamb, untasked, untried; / He fought the fight for thee; / He won the victory / And thou art sanctified.

"I look around and see / The evil ways of men; / And O, beloved child, / I'm more than reconciled / To thy departure them.

"The little hands that clasped me / The innocent lips that pressed, / Would they have been as pure / Till now, as when of yore, / I falled thee on my breast."
