a Kiss.

~ MOTHERS, so weary. discouraged.
W Worn out with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play;
For the day brings so many veXations,
So many things going aniiss;
But mothers, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to led with kiss.
The dear little feet wander often,
Perhaps from the pathway OF right;
The dear little hands find new mischief
To try you from morning till night;
But think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your bliss,
And, as thanks for your infinite blessings.
Send the children to bed with KISS.
For some day theft noise will not vex
you.
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for their sweet. childish
voices.
For a sweet, childish face at the door;
And to press a child's face to your
BOSOM
You'd give all the world just for this
For comfort twill bring you in sorrow,
Send the children to bed with kiss.
