Mater poIorosa.

Because Of one dear infant head
With golden hair,
To me all little heads
A halo wear;
And for one sanity face
All babes are fair
Because of two wide, earnest eyes
OF heavenly blue.
Which look, with yearning gaze
My sad soul, through.
All eyes now fill mine own with tears
Whate'er their hue.
Because of little death-marked lips
Which once did call
My name in plaintive tones.
No voices fall
Upon my ear in vain appeal
From children small
Two little hands held in my own
Long, long ago,
Now cause me as wander thro'
This world of woe
To clasp each baby hand stretched out
In fear of foe.
The lowest cannot plead in vain
l loved him SO.
