You ask why so oft, father,

And think II strange that should own
A grief dare not speak;
But oh, my soul is very sad,
Ny brain Is almos, wild;
II breaks my heart TO think that
Am called a drunkafd's child.
Ny playmaics shun nc now, father,
Or pass me by with scorn,
Because my dress Is ragged, and
My shoes are old and torn;
And II heed them not, "thcre goes
The drunkaris girl, " they cry;
oh then, how much | wish tha, God
Would only let me die.
You used 10 love me once, father,
And We had bread 10 eat;
Mamma and ! were warmly clad,
And life seemed very sweet
Nou never spoke unkindly then,
Or deal, the angry blow;
Or father dear, It's sad TO ihipl.
That ram hath changed you so.
Do not be angry now, father,
because tell son this,
But let me feel upon my brow,
Once more Thy loving kiss
And promise me, those lips no more
With drink shall he dcfilcd;
That from u life OF want and woe,
