A Life Story.

He Is too young to know it now,
But some day he will know.
EUGENE FIELD
Above her little sufferers bed,
With al mothers grace,
She stroked the curly, throbbing head
And smoothed the fevered face.
" He does not know my love, my fears,
My toll of heart and hand;
But some day in the after years,
Some day he'll understand;
Some day he'll know
loved him so,
Some day he'll understand"
wild lad plays his thoughtless part
AS fits his childhood's lot,
And trnmples on his mother heart
Oftimes and knows il not.
He plays among his noisy mates,
Nor knows his truest friend;
His mother sighs, as still she waits,
''Some day he'll comprehend;
The day viii be
When he will see.
Some day he II comprehend"
The strong youth plays his strenuous part;
His mother waits alone,
And soon he finds another heart
The mate unto his own
She gives him up IN JOY and woe,
he taxes MS young Drlde manu-
His mother murmurs, "Will he know
And ever understand?
When will he know
love him so;
When will he understand"
The strong man fights his battling days,
The fight is hard and grim,
His mothers plain, old-fashioned ways
Have little charm for him.
The dimness falls around her years,
The shadows round her stand,
She mourns in loneliness and tears,
"He'll never understand.
He'll never know
loved him so;
He'll never understand"
A bearded man of serious years
Bends down above the dead,
And rains the tribute of his tears
Over an old, gray head
He stands the open grave above,
Amid the mourning bands;
And now he knows his mothers love
And now he understands.
Now doth he know
She loved him so,
And now he understands.
