The Black Mother "This I find at home, only with mother, who cares for me with the patients tenderness, She from every human pain would rather save me, and drink the dregs of bitterness. If on Life's way I happen to flounder, My true thoughts should be of mother dear, she is the rock that ne'er rifts asunder, the cry of her child, be it far on near"
