Someone has written to ask if I know this song...we used to have a record (in the 1920s!)and I barely recall it, remember the tune but not the words. Have tried the DT but can't find it (I never have any luck with the DT anyway). It's from the Victorian Era I guess, one of those tear-jerkers; the premise is a little blind girl crying to her father that he should not remarry... the bits I remember:

"They tell me, Father, that you might,
Be in love with another...."
(third line..."could she ever love
A blind and helpless child?"

Another verse, ending with, "...where my dear Mother lies."

Last verse, beginning with, "Go bury her by her Mother's side..."

It's not my favorite kind of song, but it was evidently means much to these folks who asked about it. I'd appreciate any help. Thanks, Jean
