THE LIGHT OF OTHER DAYS
Oft in the stilly night
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
The smiles, the tears,
Of boyhood’s year's,
The words of love then spoken;
The eyes that shone,
Now dimmed and gone,
The cheerful hearts now broken.
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Sad memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
When I remember all,
The friends so link’d together;
I’ve seen around me fall,
Like leaves in wintry weather.
I feel like one,
Who treads alone,
Some banquet hall deserted;
Whose lights are fled,
Whose flowers dead,
And all but he departed,
Thus in the stilly night,
Ere slumber’s chain has bound me,
Fond memory brings the light
Of other days around me.
—THOMAS MOORE.
AN IDEAL MOTHER
Mark Twain is accredited with be
ing very reticent concerning his fam
ily and in the only known instance
where he has written abost them he
said: “The mother of my children
adores them—there is no milder
term for it —and they worship her;
they even worship anything which
the touch of her hand has made sa
cred. They know her for the best
and truest friend they have ever had
or ever shall have; they know her
for one who never did them a wrong
and cannot do them a wrong; who
never told them a lie nor the shadow
of one; who never deceived them by
even an ambiguous gesture; who
never gave them an unreasonable
command nor ever contented herself
short of a perfect obedience; who
has always treated them as politely
and considerately as she would the
best and oldest in the land, and has
always required of them gentle
speech and courteous conduct toward
all, of whatsoever degree, with whom
they chanced to come in contact;
they know her for one whose prom
ise, whether of reward or punish
ment, is gold and always worth its
face, to the uttermost farthing. In
a word, they know her, and I know
her, for the best and dearest mother
that lives —and by a long, long way
the wisest.”
