Always beside me, by night and by day;
If I should murmur, or wish to complain,
Her gentle voice would soon calm me again.
Sweetly a mother’s love shines like a star,
Brightest in darkness, when daylight’s afar;
In clouds or in sunshine, pleasure or pain,
Mother’s affection is ever the same.
Chorus.—Gently her hand, &c.

“She has you on both sides; if you remove your head from one position, you are immediately the victim of another pair of eyes, which fix you; in fact, transfix you.”—Liverpool Leader.
