In mothers room still stands the chair
The flowers she loved now lightly stir
In Aprils breeze, as though they were
Forlorn without her loving care.
Her books, her work box, all are there,
And still the snowy curtains bear
The soft, sweet scent of lavender
In mothers room.

Where dwelt soul so pure and rare,
On me your fragrant peace confer,
Make my life sweet with thoughts Of

AS lavender makes sweet the air
