TO MOTHER
In the eVening by the lamplight
When you sit alone and ponder,
Soft your recollections wander
To the home folks way back yonder
In the happy days of yore
When you gathered in the fire light
Father, Baby Girl and Mother—
And yourself and Little Brother
In your play with pne another
Rolled upon the fire lit floor;
And the cherished picture lingers
As you muse beside the embers
Calling back the absent members
Through the many chill Decembers
Of the years that intervene;
—As you idly twine your fingers
Dreaming of the soft caresses
Little Brother fondly presses
You still feel his twining tresses
And behold their silky sheen;
Such the picture:
Would you buy it?
—And the price;—r?
You'd gladly pay it;
—-Any price;—Just let them say it;
You would sleze your purse and lay it
On the counter,—-If you could;—
For this picture in the fire light,
—Mother's eyes as soft as starlight
—Father's smile as warm as sun light
When they kissed their babies Good Night;
—You'd piy Thousands;—So you would;
In the evening by the lamp light
We will come and take a "Flash Light"
Of the circle by the fire light
That YOUR children in life's twilight
Still may keep the living scene;
You, together in the fire light
—Father, Baby Girl, and Mother,
Sister 'Sue and Little Brother
Still may be with one another
Tho' wide seas shall roll between;
