A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Her gentle presence lingers now around me The quiet halm of tenderness she shed Is still a power in memory to cheer me. When all the world to me seems cold and dead. For other friends whose confidence I cherished. Affection sspray has frozen in my heart; Since its refreshing fountain sadly perished. When they refused to longer play their part. She could excuse the irksome duty. She could forgive recurring wrong ;T here was always meekness in her beauty, I%ere was always beauty in her song. A way from home her spirit travels with me, As though my erring ways it understood, And would from evil dangers always lead me, And pilot me where everything is good. A guide to higher aims than simply pleasure A counsellor for God, a faithful lover ;T he one to tell my secrets without measure. The one to ask for favors was my mother. God bless the women that are like my mother, Who makes our home by love a Paradise, Ah !in my eyes she eer has seemed no other Than but a perfect angel in disguise.
