Show When Mother Fteada Aloud. When motliir rends iiloud, the past Scenn roul nt every tiny; I henr the tramp of armies vast. 1 ace the spent and lmicen cast, 1 Join the thrilling fray: Tlrnve knlKhtn and Indies fair nnd proud I meet, when mother rendu iiloud. When mother reads aloud, far lands Seem very near and true; I cross the desert'a RlenniliiK sands. Or hunt the. JunRle's prowling hands. Or sail the ocean blue; Far heights, whose piakx the cold mists shroud, I scale, when mother reads nloud. When mother leads alnud, 1 lung Kor noble deed to do-To do-To help tho right, rcdtt-RS the wrong! It seems so easy to bo- strong, 80 simple to bo true. . Oh, thick and rust the visions crowd Mv ei. when mother rtiids aloutll -St. Nicholas. |
