   My Mother _ thou with more than human power
   Did'st guide me in my childhood's sunny hour
   And boyhood's bloom,
   'Till I, from thee, and home, and friends did go
   Unto the world - to drink the cup of woe,
   Alas, too soon!
   And I have drunk the cup e'en to dispair,
   But in my darkest hour I saw you there
   Beside the road
   Where you did say good-by, to me in tears.
   That vision fair has helped me through the
   Years to bear my load.
