You promised once tha you would guide

Won said you gladly would provide
Protection for me there;
You vowed the path l trod should be
A pleasant one and clear;
How have you kept your faith with me
Along the way, my dear?

Yeu promised once that I should claim
Your never ceasing trust;
You vowed that you would never blame,
Nor cease to think me just;
My inspiration o would be
From peaceful year to year:
How have you kept your faith with me
Along the way, my dear2
There was so much I did not know
And could not understand;
i faRaied that the winds which glow
Might cease at your command;
But l have learned along tho way
And / will cease to chide;
The price was not too much to pay

HE.
There was so much I had not guessed,
So much l had to learn;
But while your han In mine may rest

The courage you supplied;
Come, let us start anew, today
