Inspiring me with love or remorsc.

And the teachers kind, who, for love of the

Instruct the child in the way to be good.

Our voices gay. and our hearts are light;
A mothers smile is our welcome home,
And sisters kiss forbids us to roam.

Our home is deserted; far out in the world
We battle for life, with our standard unfurled.
