The Cuban Mother.

"Come, closer, darling, closer,
 Closer to thy mothers breast;
 Ah my loved one, ah; my sweet one,
 If could but give thee rest;
 If could but give thee nurture
 As l gave In days of yore";
 Foolish mother-dying infant
 See'st thou not that life is o'er?
 Aye, she sees, her eyes behold 1t
 Yet scarce feeleth she the pain;
 All her thoughts and all her anguish
 Are with him--the lately slain.
 Yea, with him her dead child's father,
 He who bore the Cuban sword
 Bravely through the smoke of battle
 Pauslng not for veal or ward.
 And she sees-the Cuban mother With vision keen as death
 How, he fought nor ever faltered;
 Till he drew his dying breath
 Murmuring madly, speaking slowly, Faintly murmuring as he died: Tell her, tell her, how I loved her,
 She, my gracious, peerless bride. "Tell her that for her bore it, All the insult, all the pride; That for her I rose against
 That for her fought and died, Praying that If God should pity--
 And his dying eyes stared wild might save her-my beloved Save my darling and-the child. From the hands of those vile wretches Fit for port ming tort'ring pain From the hands of hell's own bloodhounds--
 From the Volunteers of Spain!
 'sBut-his gaze took In the guardsmen, And the fellow shook and qua!led For its look was strange and awful But l failed; great God, l failed! Failed to save them, Heaven deliver! Vengeance grant, though Thou be mild"; See the shaking soldier culver; Hark! he murmurs, "Wife" and Child"
 That was how the insurgent father
 Rendered up his soul to God; Now the child hath followed after; Surely she hath felt the rod. And the Cuban mother gazing, Blankly gazing into space ] In mute and mad'ning sorrow 1 Murmurs, Vengeance comes apace." For she hears from OCT the water Sound ot sob and moan of pain; 1 Sound of helpless, grooming women, | Fellow victims they of Spain. | And she hears adoWn the ages, Justice, with her stern demand, I Saying, T do hear thy moaning And require 1t at their hand" I Rachel, weeping for her children''- Victims of the oppressed Spain; Though their blood doth stain tn island l Or Is sunhen with the Maine; Whether in the land of freedom 1 Women taste their bitter rue | Or in fair Antillan island Surely they must have their due. Whether mother in the north-land | Calls and calls and calls again l For her boy, her stalwart sailor, 1 Sunken with the brave ship Maine; l Or in Cuba-desolated. | Widowed, childless, all alone, | Haunted, tortured wife and mother Feels her heart-nay, feels a stone! Lifts her eyes to God in heaven l Prays and moans, and prays in vain; 1 Waiteth, waiteth, alway waiteth l For the vanauisher of Spain s-Genevieve Hale Whitlock, Stamford Conn I April 12, 1898.
