Go to thy mothers side,
And her crlslId bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide;
Wipe from her cheek tho bitter tear;
Mark her worn frune and wilher'd brow
The gray that strcaks her dark hair now
With fad;ng frame and trembling limb;
And trace the ruin back 10 him
Whose plightcd faith, in carly youth
Prornisd eternal love and truth,
But who forswo orn, hath yielded up
That promise 10 the cursed cup;
And led her down, through love and light,
And all that made her prospects bright;
And chain'd her there. mid want and strife
