The Irish Mother.

TOMS MESSAGE.
The old mother, you say. she was her
rid before you came over.
An with her last sighin' she called
down Gods blessin's on me.
An you prayed fore YOU came on her
grave that the daisies now
cover
Oh. Mother Of God, that this black
lonesome day / should see.
An this is the sorrowful end of me
plans an me dreamin',
Sure thought that SO soon l would
steal up the little boreen
An old mother would meet me just
there. her poor face all a-beam-
in,
While Id tell all tho things l had done
an the places I'd seen.
An then with her hand holdin' mine
we would go up together
To the little thatched house on the hill
where SO happy we dwelt.
An the hedges of woodbine would
bloom, an the beautiful neither
But now; ah. you tell me that gladness
can never be felt.
An so her last words were for me, an
she sent ME her blessin'.
An told you to say that we'd meet
where there's weepin' no more;
That though soon on the clay of the
grave her old head would he
pressin'
Her prayers would brighten my way
till my troubles were DER.
oh. with longin' an sorrow. me heart
veins are swelled nigh to bursttn'.
To think that her welcome I never
shall feel as of yore,
That the light of the eyes for whose
love-looks I always was thirstin'
Is quenched in the grave an will shine
at my comm no more.
But, Tom sure know she is with us
this minnit we're speakin'.

Let's find the sunny side of men,
Or believers in it;
a light there is in every soul, 50
That takes the pains to win it.
Oh. there's s!un,bering good in all,
And we perchance may wake it;
Our hands contain the magic wand;
This life is what we make it,
Then here's to those whose loving
hearts
Shed light and joy about them!
Thanks be to them for countless gems
We ne'er had known without them.
Oh! this should be a happy world
To all who may partake it:
The faults our own if it is not
This life is what we make it.
