1884.
Another year of joy & grief,
Another year of hope & fear:
O Mother, is life long or brief?
We hasten while we linger here.
Another year of hope & fear:
O Mother, is life long or brief?
We hasten while we linger here.
But since we linger, love me still
And bless me still, O Mother mine,
While hand in hand we scale life's hill,
You Guide, & I your Valentine.
And bless me still, O Mother mine,
While hand in hand we scale life's hill,
You Guide, & I your Valentine.
