The
door was open'd, out she sprung, And round her neck poor Ellen clung,
Papa to kiss her would not deign, He sternly bade her stray again,
Go try once more their hearts to break; These words with falt'ring
voice he spake, For he her downcast look observ'd, Of grief for
anger well deserv'd; Her humble penitence his love regains, And
Ellen pardon soon obtains; Alternately she's now caress'd, By both
fond parents truly blest.
