Excerpt from Little-Folk Songs ET golden, dear ones, rises each fair head To manly stature in full height completed, Blue eyes glance bright 'neath brows where candor seated Holds fearless sway. With ever quickening tread, The incessant years my little babes have led Far from me, flinging Childhood's toys and flowers Away, while speeding with the absolute hours To lift life's iron gage. Hope strives with dread To see you stand forth men. Backward I turn Adown the path home - bound, content to find Your tiny foot-prints, tenderly to trace Remembrances, - haply o'er which to yearn In the still house, - wherewith these leaves are lined; Yours all the sweetness that may lend them grace.
