Text Appearing Before Image:
ow fear and hope possess his heart by turns;Jo gain a living as he trudgd along,A ballad sold, and often sung the song;;rhus travelld singing on the weary way,William just got a morsel every day.Tho poor and hungry, happy on the roadfThat leads him to his parents blest abode:His legs are tird, and yet he feels no pain,In hopes to rest in his lost home again,And journeys homeward, travlling day and night,The nearer home the more his heart grows light. William restored to his Parents. Near home arrivd, he sung a lovely lay,His parents chanced to walk beside the way;Surprisd, they saw their darling child with joy, ,Nor less enrapturd was the happy boy:Home they returnd with each a throbbing heart,Resolvd henceforward never more to part.See now at home, and reading his new book,Joy in his heart, and pleasure in his look;He obeys his parents now with a good will,What they command neglects not to fulfil;Thus for the past he amply makes amends,And is a blessing to his dearest friends. FINIS.
