“Father, dear father, come home with me now!The clock in the steeple strikes three;The house is so lonely, the hours are so longFor poor weeping mother and me.Yes, we are alone, poor Benny is dead,And gone with the angels of light;And these were the very last words that he said,"I want to kiss Papa good night."”
