Trooping. crowding. big and small,
On the threshold. in the hall
Joining in the constant cry,
Ever as the days go by,
Where's MOTHER
From the weary bed of pain
This same question comes again:
From the boy with sparkling eyes,
Bearing home his earliest prize:
From the bronzed and bearded son,
Perils past and hcnors won;
Where's mother
Burdened with a lonely task,
One day we may vainly ask
Fer the comfort Of her face,
For the rest of her embrace;
Let us love her while we may,
Well for Us that we can say,
