The Empty Cradle.

Sad is the heart of the mother,
Who sits by the lonely hearth,
Where never again the children
Shall waken their songs of mirth,
And still through the painful silence
She listens for voice and tread
Outside of the heart there only
She knows that they are not dead
Here is the desolate cradle,
The pillow SO lately pressed,
But far away has the birding
Flown from its little nest.
Grooming the lullaties over
That once were her babes delight,
All through the misty spaces
She follows its upward flight.
Little she thought of moment
So gloomy and sad as this,
When close to her heart she gathered
Her child for its goodnight kiss.
She should be tenderly cherished,
Never grief should she know;
Wealth, and the pride of princess,
These would mother bestow.
And this is the darling's portion
In heave where she has fled;
By angels securely guarded,
By angels securely led.
Brooding in sorrowful silence
Over the empty nest,
Can you not see through the shadows
Why it is all for the best?
Better the heavenly kingdom
Than riches of earthly crown,
Better the early morning fight
Than one when the sun is down;
Better an empty casket,
Than jewels besmirched with sir
Safer than these without the fold
Are those that have entered in
