Three long years hast thoa roomcd,
And often we say to each other
'ris time our brother had come.
Gene to thy home, my brother
Changes are passing around;
There's change in our own dear mother
hut greater in father is found.
His back is bent and lowly,
Aud his hair is turning gray;
He looks ON his children with kindness,
But son Is far away.
And mother though bowed OAd broken
BY the weight OF her sorrow down.
Has always smile for the living.

Then come to thy home, my brother
Ere other changes pass,
For our iathcrau mother before year,
May be laid meath the waving grass
