Her little bare feet were as brown as the curls That fell on the dress that she wore. The boy was all ragged, clothes tattered and torn, And tears shown beneath his blue eyes. "Why don't you go home to your l\1ama? 11 I said. And this was the maidens reply: Chorus: Mama's in Heaven, They took her away, And left Jim and I alone. We came here to sleep At the close of the day; For we have no Mama or home. Papa got lost on the sea long ago. We waited all night on the shore, For he was a life-saving Captain, you know, And never came back anymore. Mama got sick; Angels took her away. To dwell in her mansion so bright, She said she would come for her darlings someday, Perhaps they are coming tonight. 11 We cannot earn a living", she said. Jim's four years and I'm only seven. 11 \ve have no one to love us since Papa is dead, And our darling Mama's in Heaven. The sexton came early to ring the church bell. He found beneath the snow white The Angels made room for the orphans to dwell In Heaven with Mama that night. 11 � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

No home! cried an orphan girl At the door of a princely hall, As she trembling stood on the marble steps And leaned on the polished wall. Her clothes were thin, her feet were bare. Oh give me a home, she feebly cried A home and a bit of bread My father, alass! I never knew And a tear dimmed her eye so bright. My mother sleeps in a new made grave All covered in snow and sleet. The night was dark, the snow fell fast The rich man shut his door. His proud lip curled with scorn as he said: No home, No bread for the poor. I must freeze, she said as she sank on the steps, And strove to wrap her feet In her tattered dress all covered in snow, - Yes covered in snow and sleet. The hours rolled on And the midnight chime Rolled out like a funeral knell. The earth seemed wrapped in A winding sheet, The drifting snow still fell The rich man lay on his violet couch, And dreamed of his silver and gold. The orphan girl lay on her bed of snow And Murmured: So cold, so cold. The morning dawned and the orphan Girl still lay at the rich man’s door But her soul had fled to a home above Where there’s room and bread for the Poor. ballads No Home No Home said a Little Girl Orphan Girl sings and music death songs and music children songs and music heaven songs and music orphans The Orphan Child https://omeka-test.library.appstate.edu/files/original/18e51d0f0dbf4af08984c7d218940183.pdf cf257d19432ea6a962a0bd509d4d9e8a PDF Text Text The :;,r-ourniu .~; Dove.

One day while in a lonesome grove Sat over my head a little dove, For its last mate began to coo Which made me think of my mate, too. Ah, little dove, you are not alone , For I, like you, can onle mourn. I, once, like you, did have a mate, But now like you, I am desolate. Consumption seized my love severe, And preyed on her for one long year, Till death came at the break of day, And my poor Mary he did slay. Her blooming cheeks and sparkling eye Like roses they did wilt and die. The arms that once embraced me round Lie mouldering in the cold ground. But death, grim death, did not stop there. I had one child to me most dear. He like a vulture came again And took from me my little Jane. But bless the Lord, his word is given Declaring babes are heirs of Heaven. Then ceased my heart to mourn for Jane Since my small loss is her great gain. I have a hope that cheers my breast, To think my love has gone to rest. For while her dying tongue could move She praised the Lord for His redeeming lobe. Shout on, ye heavenly powers above, While I this lonesome desert roam.

My life is so lonely, My heart is troubled sore, Her dearest presence, only, Could make me weep no more. She has gone from me to heaven, Deep sorrow shades my brow, The sacred tie is broken, I have no mother now. Sad was the hour of parting, She said in words so sweet, My loved one I'm dying We must in heaven meet. 0 yes, I'll meet you Mother, On that eternal shore And there we'll live together, Where parting is no more.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. I Have No Mother Now I hear the low winds sweeting Through every brush and tree, Where my dear mother's sleeping Away from home and me. Chorus. Tears from my eyes are flowing, And sorrow shades my brow, Cold in the grove she's sleeping I have no mother now. I see the pale moon shining On mother's white tomb stone, The rose bush round it twining, It's just like me alone. Chorus It's just like me a-weeping Cold dew-drops damp my brow, Its' just like me a-weeping, I have no mother now. My life is so lonely, My heart is troubled sore, Her dearest presence, only, Could make me weep no more. Chorus She has gone from me to heaven, Deep sorrow shades my brown, The sacred tie is broken, I have no mother now. Sad was the hour of parting She said in words so sweet, My loved one I'm dying We must in heaven meet. Chorus. O yes, I'll meet you Mother, On that eternal shore And there we'll live together, Where parting is no more. Come now, ye orphan children, Who sorrow here below, And join me in a promise, That you'll to glory go. Chorus Then when our labor's ended And time shall be no more, We'll go and live with mother Where parting is no more.

A poor man lay at the rich man’s gate, To help himself unable, And there he lay to humbly wait For the crumbs from his rich table. But not one crumb would this happy cure (epicure) Ever aye pretend to send him, The dogs took pity and licked his sores, More ready to befriend him.

Scripto Transcription A written representation of a document. Farewell Farewell, farewell to all below. My Savior calls and I must go. I launch my bark upon the sea, This land is not the land for me. Praise be to God who rules on high Where angels sing and so will I— Where angels bow and bend the knee Oh, that’s the happy land for me. No night is there, ‘Tis always day, And Christ will wipe all tears away. Where parting never more will be, Oh that’s the happy land for me. If you wont go, I’ll part with you I’m bound that happy land to view. With Christ my Lord I soon will be Oh heaven’s the happy land for me. I find the winding paths of sin A rugged way to travel in Beyond the swelling waves I see The land my Savior bought for me. Convert's Farewell H.
