There is a lolvely picture that I see,

As clear and clean cut as a cameo.

My moher, watiing at the gate for me.

Long ago.

A picket gate where yellow roses grew,

The scent of plum blooms fragrant on the air.

Bright leaves above her, sun shing through

Lighting her air.

And I am coming down the old home street.

A shaded street where arching maples were,

A little girl on lightly running feet,

Coming to her.

Oh, often now, when weary of the road

That leads me home,

I pause and breathe a prayer

That by some gateway at the close of day

She will be there.

Shading her eyes against the heavenly light,

Peering along a heavenly street to see

that she may catch the first, fluttering white

Glimpse of me.
