First Line: Never was prideful wealth, power, or fame
Last Line: The unselfishness that is a mother's heart.
Subject(s): Mothers
NEVER was prideful wealth, power, or fame
That glanced not back beyond its haughtiness
With tenderest longing and a welling eye
Unto those earlier days, when a clear flame
Burned steadfast on the hearth of home, to bless
A past that knew no pomp, to smile and sigh
Wistfully for that better, finer part:
The unselfishness that is a mother's heart.
