WATCH THE LITTLE HEART.


Motheri watch the little feet
Climbing DER the garden wall,
Rounding through the busy street,
Ranging cellar, sbed and hall
Never count the moments lost,
Never mind the time it costs,
Litfle feet viii go astray,
Guide them, mother, while you NAV.
Mother watch the little hand
Picking berries by the way,
Making houses in the sand,
Tossing up the fragrant hay.
Never dare the question ask,
"Why to me this weary task"
These same little hands may prove
Messengers Of light ard love.
Mother! watch the little tongne
PrHting innocent and wild,
What Is said and what Is sung,
By the happy, joyous child.
Catch the word while yet nspoken,
Stop tbs voice before It's broken:
This same tongue may vet proclaim

Motheri watch the little heart
Beating soft and warm for you,
Wholesome lessons now impart.
Keep, o! keep that young heart true.

Harvest rich you then may sec,
