“Mother.”
Ni* painter’s brush nor poet’s pen,
l,u justice to her fame,
Has ever reached half high enough
To write the mother’s name.
Make ink of tears and molten gems
And sunbeams mixed together;
With golden pen and holy hand
Go write the name of mother.
In every humble tenant’s house.
In every cottage home,
In marble courts in gilded halls,,
On every palace dome.
On mountains high, in valleys low.
In every land and clime
On every throbbing human heart
That blessed name enshrine.
Take childhood’s lights and man
hood’s shades
Celestial canvas given, ,
In beauty trace that name and face
And hang it up in heaven.
High o’er towering mountains
Beyond the starry skies.
Write it on every glittering crown
That’s worn in paradise.
r Thence upward to the great white
throne,
’Midst music soft and sweet. ,
Thank Jesus for that precious name,
And write it at his feet.
