But now, to thee no more appears

But now, to thee no more appears

 

This light of thy declining years;

This light of thy declining years;

 

No more her smile brings joy to thee,

No more her smile brings joy to thee,

When tempest toss'd on life's rough sea.

 

Fond mother, where's the rosy child

Fond mother, where's the rosy child

 

Which once upon thy bosom smiled?—

Which once upon thy bosom smiled?—
