Her Visits to her Mother’s Grave - ZaunköniG - 21.05.2007 Her Visits to her Mother’s Grave Ofttimes I mark thee, while the village tower Takes the first glow of the new-risen morn, Bending among the tombs like one forlorn; There is thy mother’s grave; there, sun or shower, Art thou, and there is cherished every flower She loved the best; and ‘t is thy secret trust That in the blossoms springing from her dust Lives something of her to this very hour. There, on the Sabbath days, mayst thou be seen The first of all, the last to linger there; Sweet memories of her virtues come between Thy whispered words, and mingle with thy prayer; And aged woman, doomed to endless toil, Stay by the porch, and weep with thee, or smile. |
