Oh! let me go where no children are!
Some where, is there a lonely star
Where I could see no children at all --
Never be near one, or hear him call?
To such a place I must go, must go,
Away from this hunger which tears me so;
I would escape from each little lad
So like the child that I never had.
Somewhere, oh, somewhere! one lonely star:
Help me to go where no children are!
