Subject(s): Mothers
A mother's love -- its meaning who can measure,
Or who such depths of hallowed mystery sound?
Outside the heart of God so rich a treasure
Has never yet been found!
A mother's face -- all radiant and resplendent
Where memory guards the shrine with watchful care!
What master hand e'er wrought with touch transcendent
A thing so wondrous fair?
A mother's kiss -- O how its impress lingers,
Through all the change that o'er one's soul may creep!
It thrills me now as these poor trembling fingers
The chords of memory sweep!
