Knelt beside him�察�with her earnest eyes Lifted up in patient�察�calm surprise

     ;Years   ago�察  �my  children�察  �years   ago�察�When   your   mother   was   a   child�察�

she came From her northern home�察�and here she met Love for love�察�and 

comfort for regret�察�In one early friend��you know her name。 

     ;And this frienda few years oldergave Such fond care�察�such love�察�

that day by day The new home grew happy�察�joy complete�察�Studies easier�察�

and play more sweet�察�While all childish sorrows passed away。 

     ;And your motherfragile�察�like my May ´ Leant on this deep love�察�

nor leant in vain。 For this friend ��strong�察�generous�察�noble heart�。� Gave the 

sweet�察�and took the bitter part�察 � Brought her all the joy�察�and kept the pain。 

     ;Years passed on�察�and then I saw them first�此�It was hard to say which 

was most fair�察�Your sweet mother's bright and blushing face�察�Or the graver 

Margaret's stately grace�察�Golden locks�察�or braided raven hair。 

     ;Then   it   happened�察  �by   a   strange�察  �sad   fate�察  �One   thought   entered   into 

each young soul�此�Joy for oneif for the other pain�察�Loss for oneif for the 

other gain�此�One must lose�察�and one possess the whole。

sorrow for your mother's sake�察�And none knew it but herself alone。 

     ;Then   she   travelled   far   away�察  �and   none   The   strange   mystery   of   her 

absence knew。 Margaret's secret thought was never told�此�Even your mother 

thought her changed and cold�察�And for many years I thought so too。 

     ;She    was    gone�察  �and   then   your    mother    took   That   poor    gift  which 

Margaret laid aside�此�Flower�察�or toy�察�or trinket�察�matters not�此�What it was had

guess the rest�拭�Even my little Olga understands Great gifts can be given 

by little hands�察�Since of all gifts Love is still the best。 

     ;Margaret is my dear and honoured wife�察�And I hold her so。                    But she 

can claim From your hearts�察�dear ones�察�a loving debt I can neither pay�察�nor 

yet forget�此�You can give it in your mother's name。 

     ;Earth spoils even Love�察�and here a shade On the purest�察�noblest heart 

may   fall�此  �Now   your   mother   dwells   in   perfect   light�察  �She   will   bless   us�察  �I 

believe�察�to´night�察 � She is happy now�察�and she knows all。; 

     Next day was farewella day of tears�察�Yet Sir Arthur�察�as he rode away�察�

And   turned   back   to see  his   lady  stand With   the  children   clinging   to   her 

hand�察�Looked as if it were a happy day。 

     Ah�察�they loved her soon�           �The little one Crept into her arms as to a 

nest�察�Arthur always with her now�察�and May Growing nearer to her every 

day�此     � ´ Well�察�I loved my own dear lady best。
