curious arrangement these fangs are
laid back fiat in the roof of the mouth
out of the way Of the ordinary teeth

God could not stay with us, says one,
When His creative work was done,
But looking, sad, above all others
The thing to do-and gave us mothers.
The day my Mother gave me birth
Yes, long before l came to earth
Fond hopes in her dear heart were
stored .f
For all of Good life could afford.
She watched me through the tender
years, -.
At times with joy-and- sometimes
Those years when only Mother knew
The way to guide me gently through.
And then through youth-oh, careless
youth ".
That treacherous time, we say for.
sOOth; .&.t & =!
Twas she from dangerous shoals led
In channel safe to port ahead.
In latter years-in middle life {
When .,.e days are full of Life's stern
Her wisdom rich and counsel true
Gave strength and courage to pursue
She had not scornful been of Fame
II 1t had perched upon my name,
But rather, Right linked with Renown
Would she desire to be my crown.
and so, as passing years go by
This my endeavor: 1 would try,
Whatever else-that Mother see
Those first fond hopes fulfilled in me.
