261b Alone
Father's gone and left me alone, No father's hand to guide my feet; No father's arm to lean upon, In the silent tomb Father sleeps. Mother, too has left me alone, No mother now to kiss my cheek; No mother's breast to lean upon, In the silent tomb mother sleeps. O mine eyes with teardrops are dimmed, My heart is bleeding now and torn; O all my joys have passed away, And I cannot here longer stay. |
