Page 19 - I'll come again, mother, from out my resting-place ; Though you'll not see me, mother, I shall look upon your face : Though I cannot speak a word, I shall hearken what you say, And be often often with you, when you think I'm far away.
Page 19 - And you'll come sometimes and see me where I am lowly laid. I shall not forget you, mother, I shall hear you when you pass, With your feet above my head in the long and pleasant grass. I have been wild and wayward, but you'll forgive me now ; You'll kiss me, my own mother, and forgive me ere I go...
