And worship the goddess that lives in
the wine.
Come back to me, darlingl need you
just now;
My eyes grow more dim aud white hairs
line my brow.
Your mother Is pleading,
Whose poor heart is bleeding
Because of The path that your footsteps
are in,
Because of your error, your passion, your
sin.
Come back to me, dSrlingl be once more
my boy,
The light of my life, and comfort aud Joy.
Love me as love thee,
And the blue sky above thee
Will bend with the weight Of the angels,
whose JOY
Will mingle with mine, II love saves my
boy.
