MOTHERS FAREWELL.

Dear child, how can let thee go!
So often have nestled thee
Upon my bosom, lovingly,
And lulled thee into slumbers sweet.
With tender songs and low!
How dear thy tiny fingers grasp
Round one of mine. when first you
stepped.
And falling helplessly gladly crept
Back to the heart thatloved you so,
Where mothers arms could clasp.
And when there came a merry day,
When, growing bold. you bravely ran.
Sweet, childish forecast OF the man,
Around the room, away from me,
All laughing in your play.
A few years more, and larger grown
With all "a bright boys love of fun
OF horse and wheel and rod and gun.
You ne'er forgot the loving kiss
For mother. LETT alone.
And now at last, equipped for lHe.
My baby wanders out afar
Across the sandy harbor bar
Perhaps for days of sunny speed,
Perhaps for storm and strife.
God speed his course across the sea-
The honored name he hopes to win
And when his ship comes blithely in
Sweet answer to a mothers prayers
My ship will come to me.
