Dear little m other of Poverty Lam*. W here are the roses that bloomed in your check? Blighted I fear by deception and pniu; Men aro bo cruel and women so weak, Ragged and torn is the dress that you wear. Making you squalid from head unto feet, Still I m ust own you are womanly fair, . Still I must paint you as tenderly swei t. Brave little m other of Poverty Place, Mother love henleth the stripes of the rod, Hence is the beauty that lighteth your face. Lo\ ing your baby and trusting in God.
