By Clare FLOWERS OF POETRY, FOR YOUNG PERSONS. I. A MOTHER'S LOVE. HAST thou sounded the depth of yonder sea, Hast thou measured the height of heaven above? Hast thou talk'd with the blessed, of leading on Evening and morn hast thou watch'd the bee Hast thou gone, with the traveller Thought afar, From pole to pole, and from star to star? There is not a grand, inspiring thought- And ever since earth began, that look To win them back from the love they prize, There are teachings on earth, in sky, and air, But louder than the voice beneath, above, He is heard to speak through a Mother's love! |
