MY MOTHER.

My mother, my kind mother,
I hear thy gentle voice;
It always makes my little heart
Beat gladly and rejoice.

When I am ill, it comes to me
And kindly soothes my pain;
And when I sleep, then in my dreams
It sweetly comes again.

My mother, my dear mother,
Oh, may I never be
Unkind or disobedient
In any way to thee.

High rides the thirsty sun,
Fiercely and high;

Faint little dandelion

Closeth her eye.

Pale little dandelion,
In her white shroud,
Heareth the angel-breeze
Call from the cloud;
Tiny plumes fluttering
Make no delay;

Little winged dandelion

Soareth away.

PEACE AND LOVE.

Let dogs delight to bark and bite,
For God has made them so;
Let bears and lions growl and fight,
For 'tis their nature to.

But, children, you should never let
Your angry passions rise;

Your little hands were never made
To tear each other's eyes.

Let love through all your actions run,
And all your words be mild;
Live like God's well-beloved Son,
That sweet and lovely Child.

The Lord of all, who reigns above,
Does from his heavenly throne
Behold what children dwell in love,
And marks them for his own.

THE CHILD'S DESIRE.

I think, when I read that sweet story of old,
When Jesus was here among men,

How he called little children as lambs to his fold,
I should like to have been with them then.
