Saturday Night.

Placing the little hats all in a row,
Ready for church on the morrow, you know:
Washing wee faces and little black fists,
Getting them ready and fit to be kissed;
Putting them into clean garments and white:
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Calling the little ones all round her chair,
Hearing them lisp forth their soft evening
prayer;
Telling them stories of Jesus of old,
Who loves to gather III 10 lambs to his fold;
Watching they listen with childish delight
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Spying out holes in the little worn hose,
Laying by shoes that are worn through the toes,
Looking O. er garments so faded and thin
Who but mother knows where to begin?
Changing button to make it look right
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Creeping so softly to take last peep,
After the little ones all are asleep;
Anxious to know if the children are warm,
Tucking the blankets round each little form,
Kissing each little face, rosy and bright
That is what mothers are doing tonight
Kneeling down gently beside, the white bed
Lowly and meeky she bows down her head,
Praying as only a mother can pray,
"God guide and keep them from going astray,"
Watching, working, guiding Alright,
That is what mothers are doing tonight.
