Motherhood.

Annie Fellows Johnston

FOR two dear heads of bronze and amber, For baby eyes of blue and brown, For two who cling, and kiss, and clamber, And on my shoulder nestle down.

All little hearts are dearer to me, All little faces sweet and bright, All childish tears and woes undo me, And I would heal them all to-night.
