Subject(s): Mothers
WHAT is there down so deep
But mother's love will find it?
Cover it over and hide it well,
Neither with lips, nor by glances tell;
Have you a trouble? Wherever it dwell,
Mother's love finds it out.
What is there up so high,
But mother's love can share it?
All that is noble, and good and true,--
That which enriches and blesses you,--
What you accomplish, and purpose to do;
Mother's love shares it all.
Is anything too hard
For mother to do for you?
No, obstacles vanish, and cares grow light,
Dangers diminish, and clouds become bright,
Burdens grow small, and roll out of sight
For mother when doing for you.
