MOTHER—LOVE
Dear Mother mine: The shildren are abed,
Each curly head
Lies peacefully lulled to sweet dreams
By their own mother’s songs: . . . it seems
Only last night youp ressed me to your oreast,
Sang me to sleep__and perfect rest . . . .
And now, since my own children’ mother stands
Above them radient in her love..it's only now
I fully know just when and how
A mother’s love protests, defends!

Love dwelt serenely in the cottage___
Till a Stranger appeared___
Whose name was “Pride.”
