Lo as | a care|ful house|wife^runs | to catch

One of | her feath|ered creat|ures broke | away,

In pursuit | of the / thing she | would have
stay:

Whilst^her | neglect|ed child | holds her | in
chase,
T . T T

Cries to catch her | whose^bu|sy care | is
bent,

To fol|low that | which flies | before | her
face:

Not* priz|ing her / poor in|fant's dis|content;
, , ,

So runst^|thou *aft|er that | which flies | from
thee,
, ,

Whilst I | thy babe | chase thee | afar | behind,
, ,

But if | thou catch | thy hope | turn^back | to
me:
, , ,

And play | the moth|er's part | kiss me,| be
kind.

So will | I pray | that thou | mayst^have | thy
Will,

If thou turn back | and my loud cry|ing
still.
