My! My! when mother used to bake!
And beat the batter of the cakel

With gustatory wish.
1t seemed as if / could not wait
The process of the fires of fate,
And so I'd cry with hope clate;-
Ma, lemme lick the dsh"
Mini nm! was ever joy among
The dear delights by poets sung,
As when L sped my eager tongue
Around the yellow bowl;
Then thrusting deep my face within,
As though absorbing through the skin,
l came up smeared of check and chin
But sweetened to the soul!
Since then Pve sat at many a feast
Which reached the earth from West to East
That course on course might be increased
By flesh and fowl and fish.
But truly, simplest joys are best
And / will yield you all the rest,
If you will bring me back that zest;-
Ma, lcmme lick the dish"
For well you know, you man-grown boys,
Our days made of pains and Joys
OF golden coins and base alloys,
And laughter salt with tears.
They slip like water through our hands
And lose themselves among the sands
OF distant seas and long-lost lands,
And clouds OF hopes and fears.
Timel Time! cannot you turn your track
And point our jaded footsteps back,
Release us from life's rust and wrack,
And grant US just one wish?
o, set US by some kitchen fire
Where loving mothers never tire,
But hearken to ou- old desire
