IX.—MOTHER, OH! SING ME TO REST.
Mother! oh, sing me to rest
As in my bright days departed:
Sing to thy child, the sick-hearted,
Songs for a spirit oppress'd.
As in my bright days departed:
Sing to thy child, the sick-hearted,
Songs for a spirit oppress'd.
Lay this tired head on thy breast!
Flowers from the night-dew are closing
Pilgrims and mourners reposing—
—Mother, oh, sing me to rest!
Flowers from the night-dew are closing
Pilgrims and mourners reposing—
—Mother, oh, sing me to rest!
Take back thy bird to its nest!
Weary is young life when blighted,
Heavy this love unrequited;—
—Mother, oh! sing me to rest!
Weary is young life when blighted,
Heavy this love unrequited;—
—Mother, oh! sing me to rest!
