To I-Ier I Love Best HERE'S a woman I Iove beyond tongue could declare, Slwe is all tI'1e wide world to meg I'Ier gentle smile vanished, tliis land were a void From wliose gloom I would eagerly Hee. Yet ber Summer day's past and tlwe Autumn of life Is beginning to silver I'ier I'iair And to dim tI1at briglwt vision wlmose lustre serene With Hesperus once miglit compare. Oli! I Icnow tI'1ere are dames far more youtbful and with beauty and riclies galore, Igrand, Bejewelled, brocaded, as stately as queens--- You may find tliem on every sI1ore. As they all pass before me in brilliant array, Each in grandeur surpassing tI1e other, Not one---no, not all ta'en togetlier could Hll The place of my own darling MOTHER. JOHN WALSHE
