Upon whose path a mothers love

Oh, other tongues may whisper love,

But none on earth so pure as that

Judge kindly of the motherless-
A weary lot is theirs,
And Oft the heart the gayest seems,
A load of sorrow bears.
No faithful voice directs their steps,
Or bids them onward press,

God held the motherleSs
And when the sinful and the frail,
The tempted and the tried,
Unspotted one shall cross thy path,
Oh, spurn them not aside.

And when tay lips would vent reproach,
Think, ttey acere Blotheriess!
