'Tis hard to part with thee.
But God beheld thee far to pure
For our own society.

"We miss thy lovely face,
Thy sweet and prattling voice;
Lone and sad your mother is,
Without her lovely boy.

"Dear mother, weep not; tears will hide
My glory from thy view;
For soon you'll follow me,
And then we'll string the harp anew."
