Lead thy mother tenderly
Down lfe's steep decline:
Once her arm was thy support
Now she leans on thine.
See upon her loving face
Those deeD lines of care
Think it was her toll for thee
= Left that record there.
Ne'er forget her tireless watch.
Kept by day and night.
Taking from her steps the gracs.
From her eyes the liSht
Cherish well her faithful heart
Which through weary wears
Echoed with its sympathy
All thy smiles and tears.
Thank God for thy mothers Iowa
Guard the priceless boom:
For the bitter parting hour
Cometh all too soon.
When thy graceful tenderness
Loses mower to save
Earth will hold no dearer suot
Than thy mothers grave
