						The Rose Family - Song II by Louisa May Alcott 
						
						O lesson well and wisely taught  Stay with me to the last,  That all my life may better be  For the trial that is past.  O vanity, mislead no more!  Sleep, like passions, long!  Wake, happy heart, and dance again  To the music of my song! 
  O summer days, flit fast away,  And bring the blithesome hour  When we three wanderers shall meet  Safe in our household flower!  O dear mamma, lament no more!  Smile on us as we come,  Your grief has been our punishment,  Your love has led us home.
