Home Without q Mother.


s. What is home without motheri
That are all the joys we meet,
When her loving smile no longer
Greets the coming of our feets 3
The days seem long, the nights are dreary,
Il. And the time rolls slowly on; y
And O, how few are childhood's pleasures,
When her gentle care is gone.
ase Things we prize are first to vanish;
Hearts we love to pass away,
And how soon even in our childhoods
We behold her turning grey.
Her eye grows dim, her step is slower,
Her joys of earth are past,
And before We learn to know her,
She hath breathed on earth her last.
1o Other hearts may have their sorrows,
Griefs that quickly die away.
But a mother lost in childhood
Grieves the heart from day to day.
We miss her kind and willing hand,
Her fond and earnest care;
And @, how drear is life around us,
ssa What's home without mother there?
