MATERNAL TENDERNESS.

Her bosom heaving with eonvulsive throe,
Her large eye lighted with expression wild,
The fearful infant, lost in bitter grief,
Thrills forth its plaintiff cali for tender care;
While from a mothers trembling hand relief,
Alas can answer no imploring pray'r.
Swift-fallIng tears! and piercing cries of pain!
Maternal passion kindling into glow!
Peace banished from its sweet domestic reign /!
Stricken with grief!-ah! sad and cruel bLo0!
Behold the matron in a fury blue,
