The Mother in the House
Illustration★★★★For such as you, I do believe, Spirits their softest carpets weave, And spread them out with gracious hand Wherever you walk, wherever you stand. For such as you, of scent and dew, Spirits their rarest nectar brew, And where you sit and where you sup Pour beauty’s elixir in your cup. For all day long, like other folk, You bear the burdens, wear the yoke, And yet when I look in your eyes at eve You are lovelier than ever, I do believe.
The point
A mother's tender presence and care lift her children even through their labors and burdens, making her more beautiful in adversity.
