About to depart, Liberty swayed be-

MOTHER MINE.

Because Of kindred grace,
White angels glimpsed your shining
soul.
Mans tide of dreams drifts high,
But GIBBS before this mural goal,
Where oft tired steps so humbly trod,
In close communion with your home
Where mankind learns to know its
God.
Yours was no idle feint
OF what dead souls Judge joy Of life,
But when the lights CLEANED low
Or peace would shed its blood for
strife.
We found your cropping hand, some
how
And soothed our signs in its sure clasp
Like spent birds seek their sheltering
bough.
Nor is loves labor lost
In service to the final end,
For you had fulfilled all
OF saint and wife and changeless
friend.
What grand ovation can man sing
When immortelles lie crushed in dust,
How eulogize this sacred thing
OF perfect love and untouched trust?
! am in part of you!
Praised be for this beauteous grace
OF inspiring martyrdom
To live my life in purpose true.
What right have
To fairy face,
Great, golden bars which separate
Mere mortals from their super-selves,
Me from my mothers righteous fate?
