First Line: These verses, these rough records of my youth
Last Line: Which she has praised have not been sung in vain.
Subject(s): Mothers
These verses, these rough records of my youth,
Its moods, its thoughts, its joys; this diary brief --
For so it might be called -- of the inner life;
I dedicate to her whose loving eyes
Are still, as in my childhood's days, the stars
Which rule my heart: to her, my mother: songs
Which she has praised have not been sung in vain.
