LOVELL, I And the flower at eventide more bright, V Ai the day sink on Into the night The music of th birds Is sweetest. So a my mother grw older, see, She was nearer, and dearer, and weeter to me. When my mother lost her youthful noes, .-, And hei" locks were turning gray, When wrinkle came In her dear brow, Then to myself I'd often say, "She's growing old, how sad to see. She cannot always stay wKh me." When my mother lost her - youthful walk. And her eye were growing dim, How oft she'd smile and of her youth she'd talk. And then of her faith In Him, Wlio always heard her earneet prayer, And of His Word which to her was : ever dear. When her dear old hand war grow ing thin And her form began to bend, Then her smiles to me were even more sweet. Than when those hands she eould . lend For she'd smile and say, "How I wish I could do as I did. But my days ot work are through." Now angels have borne her angel form, ' Beyond the Vale of Tears. She did not tear, Christ went before, The One she served for years. She' resting now in "The Heaven of Love," And will enjoy forever, "The City Above." Emma Cornwell Am telle.
