Songs Of Innocence

The Little Boy Lost

• “Father! father! where are you going?
• O do not walk so fast.
• Speak, father, speak to your little boy,
• Or else I shall be lost.”
•  
• The night was dark, no father was there;
• The child was wet with dew;
• The mire was deep, & the child did weep,
• And away the vapour flew.
