MOTHER LOVE. (Baltimore Sun.) Take the glory of the conquest and the grandeur of the morn, Xhe splendor of the triumphs out of toil and patience born. The beauty of ttw cities and the armie3 of the just , Moving down the golden valleys to the victrries of the dust-But dust-But the mother-love that wraps around , awayward child its wings Is sweeter than all triumph and Is stronger strong-er than all kings! The mother-love is patience bearing all the years of care. With faith to take the burden up; with strength to lift and bear; The mother-love is warder of the rosy gates of life. With kiss good-by to little ones who go to face the strife, And arms of old endurance waiting there to clasp and greet The loved who wander back again, the lost with weary feet! The mother-love is gentleness that mellows mel-lows through the years. With lips to kiss the brow that aches and song tc stay the tears; The mother-love is tireless in the vigil that it keeps To guard the couch from danger where the bloom of lovehood sleeps! Oh, weyward weak and weary, and ye who walk in sin. Be sure the heart of mother-love will ope and let you in!
