TO A MOTHER
motif of flowers
with words underneath:
TO MY MOTHER
DEAR MOTHER,
LET THY TENDER
CARE
BE GRAVEN ON
MY HEART;
MAY GOD FOR
YEARS THY LIFE YET
SPARE,
AVERTING DEATH'S
RUDE DART.
HOW GRATEFULLY
I FEEL THY
WORTH,
OH! MOTHER;
HOW I LOVE THEE;
MAY JOY AWAIT
THEE HERE ON
EARTH,
AND HEAVEN SMILE
ABOVE THEE.
