I sat down by my mother’s grave, 
Upon a grassy knoll, 
And many, many memories

And play as 1 once played, 
And laugh as I once laughed with her, 
Beneath the maple’s shade.

neat, and seemed as happy, as in their former 
home. When I spoke of her loss, she said 
she did not feel like repining, she was so thank¬

Her husband, she said, seemed to feel it most, 
in consequence of its subjecting those he 
loved to so many privations. ‘ But he need 
not fear for me,’ she added; ‘ I can endure 
anything if my loved ones are only spared
