What is home without a mother?by Alice Hawthorne. What is home without a mother? What are all the joys we meet, When her loving smiles no longer Greet the coming of our feet? The days seem long, the nights are dreary, And time rolls slowly on; And O, how few are childhood's pleasures When her gentle care is gone? Things we prize are first to vanish-- Hearts we love to pass away; And how soon, e'en in our childhood, We behold her turning grey. Her eye grows dim, her step is slower, Her joys of earth are passed; And sometimes, are we learn to know her, She has breathed on earth her last. Older hearts may have their sorrows-- Grief that quickly dies away; But a mother lost in childhood. Grieves the heart from day to day. We miss her willing hand, Her fond and earliest care; And O! how dark is life around us-- What is time without her there!
