- I.I have no mother for she died,
when I was very young,
But still her memory round my,
heart like morning mist hath clung.
They tell me of an angel form that,
watched me while I slept.
And of her soft and gentle hand
that wiped the tears I wept.
And that same hand that held my own
when first I tried to walk.
The joy that sparkled in her eyes,
When first I tried to walk.II.They say a mother's heart is pleased,
when infant charm expands,
I wonder if she thinks of me,
in that bright happy land.
I know that she is in Heaven now,
that holy place of rest.
For she was always good to me,
the good alone and blessed.(continues on next page)
