Mother! For love of thee it was begun ;
In thy most honored name to-day 'tis done.
And though all earthly cares must cease
In that fair land of everlasting peace.
Love aye is one, and they who love are one ;
Time cannot end what God in Time begun ;
And thou wilt joy e'en in thine endless rest,
To know thy child obeys thy last behest.
