Ah, Earthly Home, my last clasp now I take, of all thy pleasures and thy sorrows a fond farewell. Oh, piteous and most fair! I've loved thee as a lover, and for my misdeeds let none other suffer. Forgive the sins that I've committed; what I to others have done, may they in mercy pardon. And as succeeding generations follow may they but know thee as thou art. Farewell! farewell! Oh, father! mother! teacher! May this my dust be mingled once again with thine, And o'er my tomb let the Flurring Petals of Autumn Blooms keep the Vigil of this my last of many sleeps. The Murmuring Winds shall chant the mizzeran for the soul that's dead to earth, And in thy gentle arms, Oh, mother, yield I up this life forever! Farewell!! farewell!!!
