The picture of my lost prosperity,

When round my side my loving children drew

And from my happy home my steps were hail'd

Where'er I went. The fatherless and poor,

And he who had no helper, welcomed me

As one to right their wrongs, and pluck the spoil

From the oppressor's teeth. Pale widows raised

The glistening eye of gratitude, and they

Whose sight was quench'd, at my remembered tones

Pour'd blessings on me. Overflowing wealth
