A woman whose hair was silver,
But whose face was blOssOm-sweet,
Making me think of q garden,
Where in spite Of the frost and snow
Of bleak November weather.
Late, fragrant lilies blow.
Iheard q footstep behind me.
And the sound OF q merry laugh,
And knew the heart it came from
Would be like q comforting staff
In the time and the hour of trouble,
Hopeful. and brave, and strong.
One of the hearts to lean on
When we think that things 60 wrong.

That God grant the years fulfill.

Grow bright with awOrdless welcome,
As sunshine warns the skies.
" Back again, sweetheart mother"
He cried, and bent to kiss
The loving face that was lifted
For what some mothers miss.
That boy will do to dependo on,

From lads in love with their mothers
Our bravest heroes grew.
Earth's grandest hearts have been loving
Since time and earth began!
