Yes, I have sung of others' woes,
Until they almost seem'd mine own,
And fancy oft will scenes disclose
Whose being was in thought alone:
Her magic power I've cherished long,
And yielded to her soothing sway;
Enchanting is her syren song,
And wild and wond'rous is her way.
But thou—whene'er I think on thee,
Those glittering visions fade away;
My soul awakens, how tenderly!
To pleasures that can ne'er decay.
There's not an hour of life goes by
But makes thee still more firmly dear;
My sighs attend upon thy sigh,
My sorrows wait upon thy tear:
For earth has nought so good, so pure,
That may compare with love like thine—
Long as existence shall endure,
Thy star of guiding love shall shine!
O'er other stars dark clouds may lower,
And from our path their light may sever—
They lived to bless us but an hour,
But thine shall live to bless us ever!

"Whoah,
"Such tender years escaping to
a place no other knows
my heart and blood embellishes
the head down to toes." Zealberry
This was sooooooo wonderful. I loved it. I liked the wisdom and the cadence of the stanzas.
There's something quite remarkable about those who are pledging their Mothers in our pasts.
"It's nearly like we envision their tiny hands clasped inside a tomb where in the stillness is
the icey moment of a final glimpse.
The last stance of a thought,
and the surrendering moment
to God Who Authors life and death." Zealberry 2003
Loved this so very much! What a mother can DO!!! -
Very timely for Mothers Day in Australia today (11 May). the last 2 lines of the 3rd stanza - tells exactly how I feel when I think and remember my own Mother.
It would seem that Mothers' were cherished in 1825 just as we are today. -
This is really good! Nice write!!
