A MOTHERS THOUGHTS.


SILENT and lone, silent and lone
Where, tell me where, are my little ones gone,
That used to be playing about my knee,
With their noisy mirth and boisterous gleef
Who Uttered the carpets and misplaced the chairs
Aud scattered their playthings all unawares;
who called for their suppers with eager shout,
Aud while they were getting ran In and oot;
Who kept all the apples and nuts from spelling,
And never saved jackets or pants from soiling
Had ever want aud ever will
That added care to my heart, until
| sometimes sighed for the iimc 10 come,
When they'd all be big and 60 out from home.
Silent and lone, silent and lone
Where, tell me where, are my little ones gomez
There are no little faces to wash tonight,
No little troubles for mother to right,
No little blue eyes to be sung to sleep,
No little playthings to put up 10 keep,
No little garments to be hung on the rack,
No little tales to tell no nuts to crack,
No little trundle bed, brimful Of rolick,
Calling for mamma to settle the frolick,
No olittle soft lips to press me with Kisses
(Oh such a sad lonely evening as this is y
No little voices to shout with delight
" Good night dear mamma, good night good light
Silent tho house is no little ones here,
To startle smile or chase back tear.
Silent and lone, silent and lone,
Where, tell me where, are my little ones gone
II seemeth but yesterday, since they were young;
Now they all scattered, tho world paths among
Out where the great rolling trado-stream is flowing
Out whore the graves Of their ife-hopes are sleep
ing,
Not to be comforted--weeping still weeping;
Out where the high hills Of science are blending,
Up mid the cloud-rifts, up, up, still ascending,
Seeking the sunshine that rests on the mountain,
Drinking and thirsting still, still at the fountain
Out in lifes thoroughfares all of them moiling;
Out in the wide, wide world, striving and toing.
Little ones, loving ones, playful ones all,
That went when bade, and came at my call,
Have ye deserted me? Will ye not come,
Back to your mothers arms-back to your home
