Which even the dark clouds overcast
Endear?
Whom from the world she hid,
Three nurslings more she fondly rear'd,
Two lambkins and a kid.

He kiss'd, and laid it safe, tho' weak,
Before its parent's feet.
And night and day and day and night
It was the voice of our delight,
That gentle, low, endearing coo!

Not dreaming those qualities rare
Were to murther the peace of my child:
And pining for want of her care,
Though more by my sorrows endear'd,
Could not rescue my heart from despair.
