A SON’S WISH.
Mother, in the lonely ways Of the homeland whence I came. Where you walk the world apart. Without fear and without blame, Keep me ever in thine eye. As the hills their morning star. Though I pass into the day Where my toiling fellows are. Keep me ever in thy heart With the old remembered things, Till for me there be no more April when the robin sings. Keep me ever in thy prayers, That at midnight or at noon When God needs a man in haste, He may not forget thy son.
Bliss Carman.
