Subject(s): Mothers
I AM a Mother!--that, and no other,
Lying in peace with my babe at my breast;
All my fears banished, all my pain vanished;
Happy--and numbered at last with the blest!
Here, at my bosom, I nourish a blossom,
Fairest of flowers--and mine, mine alone!
How I yearned for thee long ere I bore thee--
Thee, little baby, now come to thine own!
Ah, my sweet dearest, thou 'st brought me nearest
To Heaven a mortal may be 'neath the sun:
I am a Mother--that, and no other!
Here is the crown of my womanhood won!
