WHERE'S MOTHER?
When Father came from work at
night,
Before he'd wash his hands ana
face.
Or hang his hat upon the peg,
His glance would wander round the
place
And if dear Mothers sunny mead
Was not within his Visions ken,
He'd search for her from room to
room,
Upstairs anC down and all, ana then
He'd stop and ask,
Where's Mother?'
But If he found her in her chair,
He'd potter off about the lot,
And pick mess of early greens,
Or fix {. chicken for the pot:
He'd mend a fence Or set a hen,
Or do some other homely chore,
with only now and then a glance
Toward the half-open kitchen door,
That seemed to ask,
Where's Mother?'
When Mother left US scrrowing
He followed her within day
And while we laid white flowers
sSt5 around
His smooth-brushed hair, as white
as they.
We could but think that when the
light
And beauty Of that wondrous lace
Burst on his newly-Quickened gaze,
He must have raised an eager face
And simply asked:
Where's Mother?"
