Wind, aud u misty rain.
lIark, how tho branches sigh,
Signing as though in pain.
Lights burning dim and low
Partly dispel the gloom,
Softly their shaded glow
Brighten's the sufferers room,
Showing the patient face,
White as his covering sheet,
While at the bedside place
Watches mother sweet,
Keeping his spirit high,
Soothing his irksome cot,
Quieting each troubled sigh,
Cooling the brow so hot;
Giving her strength to him,
Fighting the bitter fight,
Standing off Death SO grim
All through the weary night.
Death, baffled, stood at bay
Holding the failing glass,
He heard her spirit say:
Death, thou shalt never pass.
Grieye not, dear mother heart,
Fen though the fight was lost.
He did a soldiers part,
He did not count the cost.
