A PICTURE IN THE WINDOW.

There's a picture in the window OF house
across the street,
Such a pretty winsome picture, telling of
joy so sweet;
It's a little mother rocking, gently sway
ing as she rests,
With the cutest, brand new baby, fast
asleep upon her breast
And wonder if she's thinking Of the fu-
ture of her child,
Wishing for it many happy days, with
'er u sorrow wild;
Then my eyes turn to another picture low
on mem rvs wall
4 picture that goes with me and is ever
at my call.
'Tis a picture like unto that one l see
across the way
\ mother just as happy as that mother
there today;
Then l close my eyes and see looking
back across the years
\ little snow-white casket. moistened with
mothers tears;
Waxen hands. fair blossoms holding like
the spirit gone away,
And my heart and arms are yearning o 'er
the picture cross the way.
