A MOTHERS LOVE.

HER, by her smile, how soon the stranger knows:
How soon, by his, the glad discovery shows,
AS to her lips she lifts the lovely boy
What answering looks of sympathy and Joy
He walks, he speaks, in many broken word,
His wants, his wishes, and his griets are heard
And ever ever to her lap he flies,
When rosy sleep comes on with soft surprise;
Locked in her arms his arms across her flung,
(That name most dear forever on his tongue,)
As with soft accents round her neck he chngs,
And, cheek TO cheek her lulng song she sings,
How blest to feel the beatngs OF his heart,
Breathe his sweet BREATH and kiss for kiss impart;
Watch DER his slumbers like the broodlng dove,
And, if she can, exhaust mothers love
