MY MOTHER.

These lines were written for her alone ma
they inspire some heart anew with filial love
Mother, the ebbing tide of years,
Hath borne thee on till now;
Thine eyes are dmmed with many tears,
And wrinkled Is thy brow;
Yet, since thy girlhood's happy days,
Its beauty ana Its grace.
AS painted now IN memory's rays,
There seems but little space.
Short seems the time since first bride,
Thy promise true was given,
To him who in his JOY and pride.
Found in thy love his heaven;
TO he a faithful wife;
And in thy heart it's sacred now,
AS In thy welded life.
Though he who then beside thee stood,
And answering pledges gave,
The husband. noble. brave and good,
And since he sleeps the last long sleep,
And answers not thy love,
Although thine eyes have learned 10 weep
Thy heart seeks rest above.
The passing years have bent thy form,
And silvered DER thy hair;
And he who braved lfe's fer cest storm,
And shared thy toll and care.
Hath left thee tor the world of light;
And now since he hath gone,
know earth seems a realm OF night
Thy spirit dwells alone.
Yet not alone, for many hearts,
Whose life is drawn from thine.
Are of thy being mystic parts;
And loves pure light shall shine
With gladstone radience on the way
Thy trembling steps must tread,
And filial hearts will ever pray
For blessings OH thy head.
4 patient loving Mother, thou,
Through each long weary year.
Crown resteth not on human brow,
Richer than thou dost wear;
The hero of the battlefield
The saint of cloistered shade,
To such as thee must ever yiold
All honors to them paid.
To calmly suffer- bravely do,
The pains and tolls of life,
To be TO every duty true,
OF Mother and of Wife,
Is honor victor never knew
Who Joined the battles strife.
Too soon the passing years will bear
To some pure world OF light
Thy spirit, where the ,in and care
That fill our earthly night.
Dim not the crown that all shall wear,
Who walk in raimcnt white.
But soon we all will gather there.
With loved ones passed from sight.
