And gaze on old ocean that lies at it's feet;
While the bright shifting sand in the SUMS

How gladstone and happy, how deep was

But my mothers sweet voice no longer

Tho the sunbeams resplendent, sad

To remind me of mother, of a desolate

That when death came to claim her that l

But she died ere my arms her dear form

She died in the land of the sunset and gold ;
But the sunlight has faded in the deep
golden west,
And shadows now rest on each wavelets

The moments are passing. the day-dream

Still gaze upon mountain and valley and

And sigh for the days that were once
