Spying out holes in the little worn hose,
LAYING by shoes that are worn through the toes,
Looking DER garments 80 faded and thin

Wearing them lisp forth their evening prayer
Telling Them stories of Jesus OF old,
Who loved 10 gather the lambs 10 the fold.

Creeping so softly TO take a last peep,
After the little ones are all asleep
Anxious to know II the children are warm,
Tenderiy covering and watching from HARM
Kissing each little face rosy and bright

Kneeling down gently beside the white hed.

Praying, only mother can pray,
God guide and keep them from going asfrsy
