Oh thou, with whom my heart was wont to share,
From reason’s dawn, each pleasure and each care
With whom alas, fondly hop’d to know
The humble walks of happiness below
If the blest nature now unites above
An angel’s pity with a father’s love
Still o’er my life preserve my mild control,
Correct my views and elevate my soul.
