 I saw her upon nearer view, A Spirit, yet a Woman too! Her household motions light and free, And steps of virgin liberty; A countenance in which did meet Sweet records, promises as sweet; A creature not too bright or good For human nature's daily food; For transient sorrows, simple wiles, Praise, blame, love, kisses, tears, and smiles.

Wordsworth.

There are smiles and tears in the mother's eyes, For her new born babe beside her lies; O heaven of bliss! when the heart o'erflows With the rapture a mother only knows!

Henry Ware, Jr.
