SPRING AND MOTHER, by                    
First Line: Far away in wooded fields
Last Line: Dear the precepts that you taught.
Subject(s): Mothers; Spring


Far away in wooded fields,
Neath the grass and mosses
Sleeping,
Nestling so still, so low,
Little heads are shyly peeping,
Waiting for the snows to go;
Violets, May-apple blossoms,
Forget-me-nots that you loved so.

They bring back childhood days to me,
School hours over, oft I
Gathered,
Mother, these sweet flowers for thee.
O'er hill and bank of stream I wandered;
To part from thee I never thought;
Dear to me are first Spring blossoms,
Dear the precepts that you taught.
