A mother's love — how sweet the name! What is a mother's love? — A noble, pure and tender flame, Enkindled from above, To bless a heart of earthly mould; The warmest love that can grow cold; This is a mother's love.
Friend after friend departs; who hath not lost a friend?There is no union here of hearts that hath not here its end.
