It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born,
And was always his treasure and pride;
But it stopp'd short never to go again
When the old man died. (Henry Clay Work)

It was bought on the morn of the day that he was born, And was always his treasure and pride; But it stopp'd short never to go again When the old man died.
