With records of the past,
And the stars poured down another light
Than DER our youth they caslr'

Long, weary months have passed away,
Since we stood beside thy bed,
With hearts OF untold agony.
And gazed upon the dead
Bowd with the greatness Of our grief,
For US, earth's light was gone.
And a mockery OF our wild despair.
Seemed It's Sunshine, bloom aud song.
Months have passed since then, and some
times
Our sadness we forget,
And our bruised hearts are LITE d up,
But we miss our mother yet.
We miss thee from our daily paths,
Anda gloom, rests or them now,
In every breezh are mornlul tones
And the flowers have lost theirglow.
We miss thee in the morning
When we waken to It's light.
we miss thee, when gray evening brings
The peaceful hours of night,
When sickness TO the pillow,
Confines each aching head.
And through the close, and darken'd room
They pass, with ceaseleSs tread,
Oh then we miss thee, Molheri
Earth has no other friend,
Con sOothe like theel-that noiseless stem.
That soft and gentle hand,
Which clasped our parch'd and fever'd one
Or bathed the burning brow,
And that sweet voice, whose tender words
Come like the breathings low
Oi music-o'er our wandering sense,
There 10 no other tone
On Earth, can breathe the tenderness
Oi hers, forever gone!
Through the long dreaTy winter,
We iniss'd, aud mOufuid thy love,
Ana often ~ the starry nights,
We turned our gazs above.
Deeming thou lookst on as, ~perchancc,
From some shining orb slsr,
For thy pure memory was To- ts,
A bright and guiding star.
And when the smiling spring time brought.
It's light, and song again,
And flowers peepd up from the green sod,
How we missd cur mother, then!
