Show WHILE MOTHER SLEEPS my dear you were beautiful that day you went away how gently I 1 watched lest carouse I 1 arouse thee from the peaceful rest but I 1 did pray that somehow within your very being you felt me kiss your brow long since the hour when I 1 lingered near you for awhile I 1 see it plainly now your lovely face stained with my tears and the memory of your smile 0 it was really a beauteous hour your going away and yet so sad because there shall be hours demanding faith and moments when my lonely heart will cry for you to make me glad yet I 1 can hear your dear voice say you can be brave my child for are and into my bleeding heart these budding floars of memories shall burst into eternal song MAUREEN JENSEN |
