COME HOME, FATHER.

Father, dear father, come home with me row
The clock in the steeple strikes one;
You said YOU were coming right home from
the shop
As soon as your days work was done.
Our fire has gone out-our house is all dark
And mothers been watching since tea,
With poor brother Benny, so sick, in her arms,
And no one to help her but me.
Come home! come home! come home
Please, father, dear father, come home
Father, dear father, com. home with me now
The clock in the steeple strikes two;
The night has grown colder-and Benny is
worse
But he has been calling for you.
Indeed he is worse-ma says he will die,
Perhaps before morning shall dawn!
And this is the message she sent me to bring
Come quickly, or he will be gone
Father, dear father, come home with me now
The clock in the slsepe strikes three;
The house is so lonely-the hours are SO long
For poor weeping mother and me
Yes we are alone-poor Benny is dead
And gone with the angels Of light;
Aid these were the very last words that he said
81 want 10 kiss papa tonight !"
Come home come home come home
Please, father, dear father come home
Hear the sweet voice of the child,
Which the night winds repeat as they roam
Oh who could resist this most plainliVe o
prayers
Please, father, dear father, come home
