MOTHER
What sweeter -words at close of day,When little ones .just tucked away, Look into mother's eyes, and say I love you. O ! how that heart so full of care, So anxious, watching, waiting thefe, Hears in those words God's message fair, I love you. When little eyelids close in sleep She prays that angels guard and keep Her darling safe, while breathing deep In dream-land. O world ! O time ! what wealth can buy The mother's love, the mother's sigh ? O God ! our ruler from on high Thrice bless her. —Rev. P. T. O'Reilly.
