LINKS ON THE OF All OF MY MOTHER
Four \enrs of p ca-nt rui lit life,
liar! nr rccly p»RI a-\ay;
My Mother in the throe* of death,
Upon hci “ick-bed lay
I mind iny foolinjts perfectly,
When la-t I heard tier speak,
The “oh« broke fiom tnv young breast,
The tears rail down my cheek;
She clasp’t her hands in Siro iv,
With I—':- s „ -rh.,s-.lv- wild.
II • t nli. .> a s nile til ved on her lips,
She sad ‘r- me hither child,
Mv son! I lie—giiev not f,r rtie,
We meet n-nin to-inorr ■«-,
Tea. w»will meet on that bright day,
• Then prithee hush thy and o>w;
M Ron !we p iri ! —let thy whole life,
Unto im 'led be given,
Obey his voice— kee h<* e iminanda,
And vve will meet ii iiuaveu.”
Siie ceased—and her pure spirit fled,
To realm of endless joy;
And Ii nKf: on t ais wide world,
A helpless orphan boy.
I press't her clay-cold lip to mine,—
Gazed on her beamless eye;
For till that day I neAer had learned,
That mortal had to die
