First Line: My darling boys, heaven help you both!


My darling boys, heaven help you both!
Now in your happy time of toys
Am I to die? How I am loth,
My darling boys!


My heart is strong for woes or joys;
My soul and body keep their troth,
One in a love no clasping cloys.


Why with me is the world so wroth?
What fiend at night my work destroys?
Has fate against me sworn an oath,
My darling boys?
