FILIAL AFFECTION. 
Be kind to thy father ; for when thou wast young 
Who loved thee so fondly as he ? 
He caught the first accents that fell from thy tongue, 
And join’d in thy innocent glee. 
Be kind to thy father ; for now he is old, 
His locks intermingled with gray ; 
His footsteps are feeble — once fearless and bold : 
Thy father is passing away. 
Be kind to thy mother ; for, lo! on her brow 
May traces of sorrow' be seen ; 
Oh, well may’st thou cherish and comfort her now. 
For loving and kind she hath been. 
Remember thy mother—for thee will she pray 
As long as God giveth her breath ; 
With accents of kindness, then, cheer her lone w.ay, 
E’en to the dark valley of death.
