Love and duty to parents / My Father my Mother I know **** / I can not your kindness repay **** / But I hope that as I older grow **** / I shall learn your commands to obey / You loved me before I could tell **** / Who it was that so tenderly smiled / But now that I know it so well *** / I should be a dutiful child ****** / C L A R I S S A A N N P R O S S E R //
