User-Contributed Transcription A Mothers Longing. Where is my Charles, O, where is he; Child of my pride and my joy? Do new temptations and trials Darken the path of my boy? Often at twilight I listen Almost expecting to hear Sounding once more on the threshold Footsteps to memory so dear Where is my Thomas, my Lizzie Children so precious to me, Through the long days of their absenceO, how I yearn for the three! They have all crossed the wild ocean Left the old home for a new, Sadly I let them embrace me Whispering a tender adieu.Now they are far from their mother,Far from their dear father's grave, And there is dashing between us Many a pitiless wave.
