Alternate Author Name(s): Cayzer, Charles
Subject(s): Love; Mothers
And so our love for Nature is not vain,
But doth return to enrich our hearts the more:
Whate'er we give, she gives us back again
With swift unfoldings from her golden store—
With larger knowledge of ourselves we pore
Upon the book her Mother-heart makes known
—To find her chastenings are with love o'erstrewn.
