• I know—yet my arms are empty,
  That fondly folded seven,
  And the mother heart within me
  Is almost starved for heaven.
  • Are the Children at Home.

• Never yet was a springtime,
  Late though lingered the snow,
  That the sap stirred not at the whisper
  Of the southwind, sweet and low;
  Never yet was a springtime
  When the buds forgot to blow.
  • Awakening.
