Again to linger round and listen.
Oh ! can she bear to think that he Whom she has loved so tenderly.
Her only earthly hope and stay.
For ever should be wrench'd away ?
102 THE MOTHER'S MISTAKE.
No, no!— to such heartr-withering grief Oblivion brings a short relief : She hears no sound, all objects swim Before her sight confused and dim ; She feels each sickening sense decay.
Sinks shudd'ring down, and faints away !
Her child revives, — ^its fit is o'er ; When with afinghted zeal it tries By voi...ce and kisses to restore The mother's slumb'ring faculties ; Till nature's tides with quicken'd force Resume their interrupted course : Her eyes she opens, sees her boy.
Gazes with sense-bevrilder'd start, Utters a thrilling cry of joy, Clasps him in transport to her heart.
Stamps kisses on his mouth, his cheek.
Looks up to heaven, and tries to speak ; But voice is drown'd in heaving throbs, Outgushing tears, and gasping sobs !
103 ADVENTURE OF A LONDON TRAVELLER.
Take heed — have open eyes, for thieves do foot by night.
