An angel mother in the skies,

Will greet her cherub child.

Mrs. Sigourney.

And say to mothers what a holy charge

Is theirs—with what a kingly power their love

Might rule the fountains of the new-born mind.

Warn them to wake at early dawn, and sow

Good seed before the world has sown its tares.

Mrs. Sigourney.
