Sometimes in the hush of the evening
hour.
When the shadows creep from the
west,
think Of the twilight songs You sang
And the boy you lulled to rest;
The weeIittIe boy with the tousled head.
That long. long ago was thine;
I wonder IL sometimes you long for that
boy,
O. little mother of mineI
And now he has come to mans estate,
Grown stalwart in body and strong.
And you'd hardly know he was the lad
Whom you lulled with your slumber
song.
The years have altered the form and
the life,
But his heart is unchanged by time,
And still he is only thy boy as OF old,
O little mother of mine!
