Behold me

Language: English

Behold me on my bended knee,
Think on my father's cries,
O think the gushing tears you see
Drop from his closed eyes.

Let this sad sight your soul possess,
Let kind regret take place,
And save my father from distress,
His daughter from disgrace.


Input by John Glenn Paton
