WHAT Is HOME WITHOUT A MOTHER
aY kIrcE HAWTHORNE.


What Is home wIthou, a mother, -
What are all the JOYS we meet,
When her loving smile no longer .-rT
Greets the cOmi, of our feet?
The DAYS seen long, the rights are drear,
And time rolls SLOWLY on; I..
And oh how lew are childhood's pleasures,
When her gentle care is gone,
Things we prize are first to vanish,
Hearts we love, to pass away,
And how soO1, cen iu our childhood.
We behold her turning grey;
De eye grows dim. her step is slow:
Her joys of earth are past;
And sometimes ere we learn to know her
She has breathed on earth her last.
Older hearts may have their sorrows,
g iefs that quickly die away,
But mother lost in childhood
Grieves the heart from day 10 day
We miss her kind, her willing hand,
Fer fnnd and earnest care;
And on! how dirk is life around IL,
What Is home without her IN re?.
