O lesson well and wisely taught br Stay with me to the last, br That all my life may better be br For the trial that is past. br O vanity, mislead no more! br Sleep, like passions, long! br Wake, happy heart, and dance again br To the music of my song! br br O summer days, flit fast away, br And bring the blithesome hour br When we three wanderers shall meet br Safe in our household flower! br O dear mamma, lament no more! br Smile on us as we come, br Your grief has been our punishment, br Your love has led us home.
