The Pie, What Mother Made.

The apple pies that mother made
When 1 was but a boy,
Their memory dear shall never fade,
But live to give me joy.
I see her now with pairing steel
And wooden rolling-pin,
I see her by the oven kneel
And place them in a tin;
And when she placed them out to cool.
All, they were dear to me;
They meant six days away from school
Besides the doctors fee.
