MOTHER.
The autumn days have come,
The saddest of the year,
And memory tells of long ago
When you were with me here.
The first real grief my childhood
knew,
When mother went away;
The whole world seemed changed
That dreary autumn day.
Though eighteen years have passed,
Mingled with joy and pain,
1 miss you daily, mother dear,
And long for you again.
The falling leaves, the dripping rain
Brings all my grief anew,
And not day does ever pass
Without some thought of you.
For oh! l love you mother dear,
And slowly count the days
Ere I shall hear your gentle voice,
And live with you always.
MRS. M. MCDANIEL.
