The Mexican Mother.
one sits IN the shade of the mango
tree,
III the cool old patio there;
"nere the fountain drip and the
brown bees drone,
And the odor of blossoms swcetens
the air.
Thick and long is her raven-bIack
hair,
Her eyes shine with a lambent
fire;
Her lips curve in a Cupid's BOW.
And such love as hers is a mans
desire.
IN an old arm chair of "javali'' hide
Back and forth and to and fro,
She rocks her little son to sleep.
And croons him a SONG Of long
From its gilded hoop he parrot
screams,
The sounds of the street die far
away;
On his mothers breast the little one
Tired of his sorrows, tired Of his
play.
And the song that she sings to her
black-eyed babe
lis a tender ballad, most sad and
true:
1t wells from the heart, and it
reaches the heart
wish | knew it; / wish | knew,
1t seems to come from far away,
From the other side Of the earth;
Its haunting melody, soft and low,
In sorrowful love had it's birth.

And Infant Jesus would see;
AS 1t surely was, as it surely is,
And evermore must be
Slip into. some patio here at noon,
Where the tinkling fountains
play;
Where time rolls back a thousand
years,
And his footsteps seem to stay.
Look on some Mexican mother there,
Who sings her boy to sleep;
You will see the sight that the shep-
herds saw
When they left their silly sheep.
When they found the Babe in its
mothers arms,
In quaint old Bethlehem there,
When they tiptoed into that won
drous scene,
And bowed themselves in prayer,
East and West are knit by a band
That is broader than speech or
years;
A band that is woven of woman's
OF woman's pangs and tears.
The Mexican mother who rocks to-
day
In her chair Of "javali" skin,
Is the own twin sister of Mary,
whose son
Died for the grey worlds sin.

Sing to the babe at your knee;
He may be. in after years, God
knows.
A Saviour for you and me.

We clcave our way through the

But we trust, after all, TO our
