Our Mother
Rest, mother, rest:
We fold thy quiet hands upon thy breast,
Above thy faithful heart –
Thy gentle heart, so good, so pure, so wise;
Full of true love, full of self-sacrifice.
Sleep, mother, sleep:
Thy children bitter-sorrowing round thee weep,
Recalling all thy tenderness and truth,
Thy loving care, guarding their careless youth,
Thy sweet example showing thou hast trod
Daily that narrow path, which leads to God.
Sleep, mother, sleep:
Each child bears now his burden and his cross,
Each his soul’s secret, tale of gain or loss;
Each must pursue alone his earthly way,
Hoping to meet thee once again – one day –
When this poor heaven and earth have passed away.
- Rena
