THE OLD ARM CHAIR

IT'S bound By thousand bands to 1ny heart;
Not a tie WiU break, nor a link UiH start
You'd goa knoU the spelled mother sat there!
And sacred thing is that old armchair.
In childhood'S hour fingered near
The hdllOWed seat NTH listening ear;
And gentle words that mother would giUe
To fit me to die, and teach to lire
She told me that shame would betide
Nth truth for mig creed, and God for my guide;
She told me to lisp mig earliest prayer,
AS knelt beside the old armchair.
I sat and Oatched for many dag,
When her eyes greW dim, and her locks Were gray;
and almost ,OorShipped her When she smiled
And turneu from her Bible to bless her child.
Years rolled on, but the last one Sped
My idol aodS shattered mig edrthstdr fled!
learnt hoW much the heart can bear
When SdW her die in the old arm chair.
IT'S past, tbs past! but gaze on it now,
Udh qutUering breath and throbbing brow;
'TWdS there she nurSed me, 'tWdS there she died.
Ind memory fIowS With laUa tide
Sag 1t Is folly, and deem me weak
UhaSt Scadtng drops start dOWn my cheek;
But loUe it, love it, and cannot tear
My soul from mother s old armchair.
