M0sher.l.Ove in Heaven.

Once met little child astray
In the wet and windy winter street
He'd been wandering the long. cold dayt
On, so weary were his little feet.

''l'se been looking for her all the day:
Oh, rs 'Graid she'll never come aRafn."
Then the pent-up anguish had IT. way,
And the baby's tears fell down like rain.
Once he had been shielded safe and warm,
pet nursing In a happy nest
Dreaming not OF cold or pain or harm,
In the shelter OF a mothers breast
Now he had but cold and hireling care:
No one missed him from his little placet
No one taught him childheod's holy prayers
No one kissed his patient, pleading face
Oh, clasp tenderly the little hands
That no mothers hand again shall hold.
Do not doubt hts Angel pleading stands:

They have pleaders In their sore distress
