Jos.‍Yes!

My dream is realised—how beautiful!—

How more than all I sighed for! Heaven receive

A mother's thanks! a mother's tears of joy!

This is indeed thy work!—At such an hour, too,

He comes not only as a son, but saviour.

Ulr. If such a joy await me, it must double

What I now feel, and lighten from my heart10

A part of the long debt of duty, not

Of love (for that was ne'er withheld)—forgive me!
