.MY MOTHER.
by ALFRED BURNETT.

- Ph'sD bNhsNst
Mother, thy locks are turning grey,
Thy form is bent with years
And soon thoult bid farewell to Earth
Its joys, its hopeS-its fears.
Yet time hath gently dealt with thee,
A down lifc's billowy sea,
Thy bark hath sailed withot wave
Of dark adversely.
Thou who first taught my infant lips
To syllable thy name,
To thee | dedicate this lay,
Thou who art the same.
The same kind mother of my youth
And manhOod's wayward years,
All ! Mother dear | fear I've caua'd
Thee many bitter tears.
| know cannot Ger repay
The wealth Of love that's thine,
A mothers love cannot be told
In feeble verse Of mine.
Yet still strive to be as thou
Thyself, would'st have me be,
And know in doing this I'll prove
Sincerest love to thee;
And should'st thou be first to seek
The shadowy vale of death,
Thy blessing mother, be It mine,
Zen with thy latest breath,
Then shall better be prepared
To battle on through life,
And meet thee in the spirit land
Afar from earthly strife.
