I Started, Seeming To Espy The Home And Sheltered Bed, The Sparrow'S Dwelling, Which, Hard By My Father' House, In Wet Or Dry My Sister Emmeline And I Together Visited. She Looked At It And Seemed To Fear It; Dreading, Tho' Wishing, To Be Near It: Such Heart Was In Her, Being Then A Little Prattler Among Men. The Blessing Of My Later Year Was With Me When A Boy: She Gave Me Eyes, She Gave Me Ears; And Humble Care, And Delicate Fears; A Heart, The Fountain Of Sweet Tears; And Love, And Thought, And Joy.
