Go kneel as have knet,

The downward course to stay,
Be dashed with bitter curse aside,
Your prayers burlesqued, your tears defea
Go weep as have wept,
Der loved fathers fall
See every promised blessing swept
Youths sweetness turned to GALL
Lies fading flowers strewed all the way
That hought me up to womans day.
Go see what have seen,
Behold the strong man bowed
With gnashlng teeth--lips bathedln blood 7.
And cold and livid brow;
Go catch his whitening glance; and see
There mirored, his souls misery.
Go to my mothers side, 81
And her crushed bosom cheer;
Thine own deep anguish hide:
Wipe from her cheek the bitter tear;
Mark her worn frame and withered brow
The gray that sreaks her dark hair now
With fading frame and trembling limbs.
And trace the ruin back to him
Whose plighted faith in early youth,
Promised eternal love and truth,
But who icrsworn, hath yielded up
The promise to the cursed cup:
And led her down through love and ghi. .v
And all that made her prospects bright.
And chained her there, mid want and strifa4 60

And stamped on chilhood's brow 50 mild.
