I would not dread to face all hell at bay ; Hell would be heaven if only thou wert near.
MOTHER.
YES, now I look, she has grown old I never noticed till to-day : Her hair was once like dull red gold ; I can't believe it's turning gray.
And oh, her sweet voice ! It was caught From some bright angel ere her birth : And every time she sang, it brought Its native heaven down to earth.
When I was settled for the night, Out of my bed I used to creep, And say I couldn't start just right Unless she san...g me off to sleep.
ELSIE AND OTHER POEMS. 53 When angels, through the moonlight clear, Came floating by on snow-white wing, They used to stop and hover near, To hear my dear old mother sing.
She had no rules, no style, no art, No consciousness nor manner fine : Her voice came straight from out her heart And made its way right into mine. I Just now her voice is not so high : She says it's lost its old sweet tone.
She will not sing when folks are by ; Only to me when we're alone.
Then, when she breathes those old songs o'er, Soft to my heart of hearts they creep ; 54 ELSIE AND OTHER POEMS.
