TO MY MOTHER

 
 
MY MOTHER,
WHEN I WAS A CHILD,
WITH TENDERNESS
THOU ON ME SMILED
AND SINCE I'VE COME
TO RIPER YEARS,
THY LOVE STILL, STILL
THY OFFSPRING CHEARS.

AND WHERESOE'ER
I TURN MY FEET,
WHATEVER FRIENDS
I YET MAY SEE,
OH: LIFE HATH NOT
AN HOUR SO SWEET,
AS THAT I PASS
IN THOUGHTS OF THEE.
