A MOTHERS LOVE.

BY MRS. HEMANs.
1t is hat pride .wherewith
Tshis fair son the fathers eye doth turn,
Watching his growth; aye on the boy he
looks;
The bright, glad creature, sprnging in his
path,
Bnt as the heir Of his great name, the young
And stately tree, whose rising strength ere
long
Shall bear his trophies well. And this is
love!
This is mans love-What marvel! You
pe'er made
Your breast the pillow Of his infancy,
While to the fulness Of your hearts GLAD
heavings,
His fair cheek rose and fell, and his brigh,
Waved softly to your breath! You ne'er
kept watch
Beside him, till the last pale star had set,
And morn, all dazzling, as in triumph broke
On your dim, weary eye. Not yours the
face,
Which early faded, through fond care for him;
Hung DER his sleep, and duly as heavens
light,
Was there to greet his wakening! You ne'er
smoothed
His couch ne'er sung him to his rosy rest
Caught his last whisper, when his voice from
Had learned soft utternnce pressed your
lips to his
When fever parched it hushed his wayward
cries
With patient, visilant, ,never-wearied love
No! these are womanls tasks-in these her
youth,
And bloom Of cheek, and buoyancy Of heart,
Steal from her all unmarked!
