Smiling- on the parent knee,
Beaming hope was linked with thee;
Grown at last her pride and boast,
Hope itself in joy was lost.
Where his youthful footsteps roved,
Thro’ the woodland bowers he loved;
Once her dear delight and care
Mothers say _what now they are 1
Honours laws have dealt the blow

;
Fear of man has laid him low;
Bound by human maxims vile ,
Braving highest Heaven the while.
Fear of man has brought the snare,
Deathless souls entangled there.
Scorning mandates from on high,
Rush into eternity 1
Christian Hope, tho’ high she spring,
Here must stoop the soaring wing;
Murderous laws, which men approve.
Pass not Heaven’s courts of love 1
01 might dark oblivion’s power,
Shadow o’er this anguished hour.
And aid the wretched, hope forlorn,
To forget he e’er was born 1
