I once had a home, I once had a sire, A mother who gi anted each infant desire, Onr cottage it stood embower'd in a vale, Where the ring-dove it warbled its sorrowful tale. But hiy father and mother were summoned away, They left me to hard-ijearted strangers a I fled from their rigour with many a sigh, Bui now I am left a poor Wandering Boy. The winter is cold, and the sndw loads the gale, There is no one will listen to my innocent tale, I will go to the grave where my parents do lie, An<J death shall*be&itnff the poor Wandering Boy* FINIS. � https://scottishchapbooks.lib.uoguelph.ca/files/original/05dedeeff6d4da8f8c9ad3cd73491721.jpg 59437db219aadb2906fed9c645c00a82 Omeka Image File The metadata element set that was included in the `files_images` table in previous versions of Omeka.
