Variant Title(s): The Name Of Mother
Subject(s): Mothers
THE noblest thoughts my soul can claim,
The holiest words my tongue can frame,
Unworthy are to praise the name
More sacred than all other.
An infant, when her love first came--
A man, I find it just the same;
Reverently I breathe her name,
The blessed name of mother.
