Excerpt from The Mother and Other Poems The Mother "I will incline mine ear to the parable, and show my dark speech upon the harp." Christmas! Christmas! merry Christmas! rang the bells. O God of grace! In the stillness of the death-room motionless I kept my place, While beneath my eyes a wanness came upon the little face, And an empty smile that stung me, as the pallor grew apace. Then, as if from some far distance, spake a voice: "The child is dead." "Dead?" I cried. "Is God not good? What thing accursed is that you said?" Swift I searched their eyes of pity, swaying, bowed, and all my soul, Shrunken as a hand had crushed it, crumpled like a useless scroll Read and done with, passed from sorrows : only with me lingered yet About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
