Here is the mcthers -mth. her florets^ nestling close — 

 Type of that love which cheers his hearth ; 



WhUe bright-rob'd Lilies teach him to repose 

 His trust on Him who rules the earth. 



And, lurking ia some shelter' d nook, most prized of all, 



Sweet Violets which Iter tender care — 

 His little darling loosed from sorrow's thraU* — 



In early childhood planted there. 



These are the simple charms that soothe the labourer's lot. 



Light' ning his care and calming fears ; 

 Long may he hold this fondly- cherish' d spot'', 



His Eden in this vale of tears.
