But lo! he cheerly waves his hand!
I hear his voice! I see his face!
And eager now he springs to land,
To meet a Mother's fond embrace!
I hear his voice! I see his face!
And eager now he springs to land,
To meet a Mother's fond embrace!
This failing heart! but joy to me,
If heaven in pity is thy guard;
And of the pangs I feel for thee,
Protection be the dear reward!"
If heaven in pity is thy guard;
And of the pangs I feel for thee,
Protection be the dear reward!"
