Sand when in the prison cell we lay,
Because you took the purse,
remember how heard you say
Avery dreadful curse!
allow then you threatened to take my life
Because lied not more.
And remember still the knife
You said you had used before.
81 fear you mother! more and more
YQN groan and give such fearful starts,
Ah,spare me now and at every door
I'll cry till break all hearts!
"But, mother, see, arise, arise
A carriage comes up the vale;
They cannot, I'm sure, refuse our cries,
Now that you look so pale !"
Thus spske the maid and the carriage came,
And she stood with hunger wild;
While suddenly burst from the coach dame
Crying "my child. my child"
The crone half rose from her dying place,
With her mouth and eyes all wide.
And she knew the injured mothers face,
Then fell on her own and died!
PART II.
One day in the summer garden fair
The mother and daughter strayed;
With trembling tongue and timid air
Thus spake the little maid
sob, must call you mother, indeed'
And are you really 500 a
And many useless way-side weed
In beautiful garden grow'
s'Yes, you have told me all the tale,
How was stolen away,
And how you grew all thin and pale,
Grieying for many day
ebay after day my heart repeats
The story DER and Ger.
And when you say you love me, it beats
AS it never did before!
ooh, what are all these flowers that load
The bushes with red and white
There are many growing beside the road,
But none so large and bright!
0Along the fence the alder grows,
To shade the dusty way,
And by the brook the briar blows
Where the cat-bird sings all day!
aDown by the meadows long and wet,
The willow-walks are made;
And now and then violet
Grows in the willows shade.
