IVithin my wiidtrood home,
Ere want had reached our bonny cot,
And hade . usladly roam.
Then chide me not, my mistress fair,
Though homely aro the lays;
My ,bruthers rang them when we wore
Together in our plays.
And oft my mother smiles to hoar
oiir little voices sin,
Att rambling, in our woodland *ads ,
At each return of spring.
Then let me sing; 'twould cheer her now,

Were tinging songs she taught ue then,
In childhood, on her knee.
