A MOTHER'S HEART by FELICIA DOROTHEA HEMANS

Poet Analysis

First Line: LOVE! LOVE! - THERE ARE SOFT SMILES AND GENTLE WORDS
Last Line: A MOTHER'S HEART.
Subject(s): MOTHERS;

LOVE! Love!--there are soft smiles and gentle words,
And there are faces, skillful to put on the look we trust
in--and 'tis mockery all....
There is none in all this cold and hollow world, no font
Of deep, strong, deathless love save that within
A Mother's heart.
