Mother
Theifollowing lines were favorites

illness she often spoke of them
In all tliertvorld ro where you will
YonlLnever find another
Wholl cling to you through good or 111
And love you like a mother
In all the world where eer you roam
With sister wife or brother
Youll never know so sweet a home
As that one made by mother
In all the world tho wealth commands
For you the work of others
Youll never And a pair of hands
foryou like mothers
In all the world tthough friends sincere
Are more to you than brothers
You never for a moment hear
A voice as kiud as mothers
-In all the world -although you break
The tender hearts of others
There is no other heart can ache
For you as much as -mothers
In all the world though you create
A pleasure for another
You cau give to none a Joy as great
As you can give to mother
In all the world -where you in bliss
May soon forget auothcr
There is no one whom you will miss
When bbe is gone like mother
