THE MOTHER'S VISITS, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Long years ago she visited my chamber Last Line: "mother, mother, art thou come for me?" Subject(s): Mothers | |||
LONG years ago she visited my chamber, Steps soft and slow, a taper in her hand; Her fond kiss she laid upon my eyelids, Fair as an angel from the unknown land: Mother, mother, is it thou I see? Mother, mother, watching over me. And yesternight I saw her cross my chamber, Soundless as light, a palm-branch in her hand; Her mild eyes she bent upon my anguish, Calm as an angel from the blessed land; Mother, mother, is it thou I see? Mother, mother, art thou come for me? | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MY MOTHER'S HANDS by ANDREW HUDGINS CONTINENT'S END by ROBINSON JEFFERS IN THE 25TH YEAR OF MY MOTHER'S DEATH by JUDY JORDAN THE PAIDLIN' WEAN by ALEXANDER ANDERSON BLASTING FROM HEAVEN by PHILIP LEVINE TIS A LITTLE JOURNEY by ANONYMOUS |
