LONGING FOR MOTHER.
FRIENDS or THE c. c.: Language falls me to eX-
press the sorrow and loneliness have ielt since
the loss OF my dear mother: bat send dcepesisym
pathy TO Carrie Nixon ia her great bereavemeht.
Let rs all look to Jesus for strength 70 bear our
burdens. My father was soldier, ana Is hummer
/ Ell among those who gave their liFcs loT ticlI
country. Below let me quote poem that has
grown very dear TO me since my mother has gone
TO her home in heaven:
Oh long FOR your voice tonight. mother,
With lis tender and soothing spell.
And the words of hottest mutheriovc
That so OIL from your sweet lips fell.
/ I long for the touch Of your hands, mother,
To liUgcr again my hair:
! All! would il could smooth with ienderest touch
From my brow the wrinkles oi care,
! I long FOR a kiss from your lips, mother,
As OF NuTC they were pressed 10 ullbe-
! How the hot Tears gush from my burning eyes
When think Of that happy time.
4 To nestle again in your arms mother
Held close To Your fond, loving heart,
4 SO that nothing could creep ia between as,
/ To sever our fond hearts apart.
! But know that il ne'cr can be- mother
must go through this world alone;
] Never feel of your hand the soft PRESSURE
/ Nor hear of your voice the sweet tone.
/ For they've laid you under the snow, mother.
/ That's shr0udiug the hill and the vale;
| And weep as may at your lonely grave
You cannot respond To my wall.
\ But afar in your starry home. mother,
Singing anthems heavenly sweet
/ ] know, when this life j. over and done.
/ That united we yet shall meet.
/ Carrie Wheeler East Scott, y. \.
