Text Appearing Before Image:
ts me not on any summer eve ;But once at night I heard a low voice calling— Oh, faithful friend, thou hast not long to grieve !Next year, when larks are singing gaily in the meadow, I shall not hear their tone ;But she in the dim, far-off country of the stranger, will walk no more alone. MY MOTHERS PICTURE. (from IN THE GARDEN OP DREAMS.) jgftjg OW shall I here her placid picture painty ^ S With touch that shall be delicate, yet sure ?I ^^1^ Soft hair above a brow so high and pure Years have not soiled it with an earthly taint,Needing no aureole to prove her saint; Firm mind that no temptation could allure;Soul strong to do, heart stronger to endure ; And calm, sweet lips that vittered no complaint.So have I seen her, in my darkest days And when her own most sacred ties were riven.Walk tranquilly in self-denying ways. Asking for strength, and sure it would be given ;Filling her life with lowly prayer, high praise— So shall I see her, if we meet in heaven. ^Copyright, Roberts Bros.
