Her eye is not so lustrous , Her voio has less of cheer , While in her hair , once dark an night , The threads of gray aopear. And ah ! I am reminded , When I her face behold , lhat though she still Is beautiful , Dearmwther'a growing old. Her cheeks have lost their glory , So llko the bluih of morn ; Her stnilcs are flown that used to bless The heart when sorrow worn. And wh'm I mark her ttep that Was buoyant once and bold , I cunnnt help the thought , to and , That mother' . ! growing old. Turn back the years , 0 Father ! And make her young once more , Just as my soul remembora her In happy days of yorr ; When at her tide my life In Full gladness did unfold , And I , a little child , dreamed not Dear mother woufa grow old. Beyond tlioto hours so Ihcting , Beyond eirth's tollH and team , In that sweet land I hope to gain Beyond there mortal yoirs. Nothing shall waste her pure life , But Leauty manifold , With happlnoiH shall crown her lot , And mother ne'er grow old. George Newall Lovejoy. HONEY FOR THUI LADIES.
