Dear Mother, in whose eyes I see
All that I would and cannot be,
Let thy pure light for ever shine,
Though dimly, through this life of mine!
Though what I dream and what I do,
In prayer’s despite are always two,
Light me, through maze of deeds undone,
O thou whose deeds and dreams are one!
And though through mists of strife and tears,
A world away my star appears,
Yet let Death’s sunrise shine on me,
Still reaching arms and heart to thee!
