HIGH OR LOW by MARGARET ELIZABETH SANGSTER (1894-1981)

First Line: FOR MOTHER IN LOWLY CABIN, OR MOTHER IN PALACE HALL
Last Line: THE LIGHT OF HEAVENLY BEAUTY SHINES IN HER TENDER FACE.
Subject(s): MOTHERS;

FOR mother in lowly cabin, or mother in palace hall,
Is ever the truest and dearest, and ever the best of all.
Mother with hands toil-hardened, mother in pearls and lace,
The light of heavenly beauty shines in her tender face.
