When mother dear is growing old Too kind you cannot be, When in the winter time of life Your dearest friend you see; When her fair locks are turning gray, And feeble grows her gait, Then, through your care, your love reveal, Ere it shall be too late. Though you should O'er this wide world roam, You'll never find a friend Like her, a helping hand for you So ready to extend; A friend so willing to forgive Your weaknesses in life, When the cold world is ready to Your fame and honor knife. Who can for helpless infancy Like a fond mother feel? Or, at the shrine of tenderness With love so often kneel? So, don't forget that you to her Too good can ever be, While it shall be your happy lot Her sunny face to see. When winding furrows on her brow You can distinctly trace, And never-failing signs of age Upon her saintly face; Then, by your kindnesses show her How grateful you can be, By treating her as she did you When rocking on her knee.
