    (continued from previous page)
    There I wander growing fonder
    Of the child that made my joy.
    Through the echo wildly calling
    To restore my baby boy.
    III
    But in vain my plaintive
    calling tears I shed,
    But all in vain.
    He now sports his fairy pleasure
    He's the treasure of the train
    Fare thee well, my child forever
    In this world I have lost my joy
    But in the next I ne'er shall sever
    There I'll find my angel boy.
