Let me give my last farewell,
Free from death’s deep agony.
“Sons and daughters! all farewell!
Let the last sweet kiss be given;
Hear your mother’s dying charge—
Meet me, meet me—all, in Heaven!”
“Kiss me, husband! yet once more!
Once again! there, that will do;
O! ’tis sweet to think I take
But a short farewell of you.
