Show MOTHER LOVE Hy Honry M. Bdmlston. Who can fntliom a mother's love, To know how far Its rays oxtond, Mr as iroloas ns tho sky nbovo, Heyond mnn's mind to apprehend; Its s'ibtio Inlluenco men fiel Surpassing glory of tho sun; Tho shrlno of shrines nt which men kneel, Of gront Ideals tho porfoct ono. Us nagnotlsm attracts the soul Re ond mnn's powor to rosl.it; It Hf s man to a hlglur goal Aliivo tho veil, of oorthlv mist. It Ik to llfo tho bright sunshine, It steams boyond tho gnto ajar; its sweetness Is or tho dlvlno, It Is to man a guiding star. From birth to dnth hnr lovo Illumes The path on onrth our foot should trond; For ntmo-pbnro. llko swoot porfumr , Survives tho form when It Is d id Wm sense It when hor spirit's near, To comfort us when In distress; Although sho llvos In spirit sphoro, Sho oft returns our llvos to bless. n |
