Poems (Browning)/Mother

For works with similar titles, see Mother.
​
Mother,
 The sun's apace life's gloried river—
  They both are gone, aye and forever,
 But burning deep within our shrine
  You'll always be there, Mother Mine;
 The star glows still, far, far above,
  An emblem of a sacred love,
Mother.

Mother,
 And when the evening shadows creep
  In lengthening strides the hillside steep,
 And eve comes with its dimming light
  To linger, as dusk turns to night,
 Then God be with you, Heart Divine,
  And keep you safe, dear trust of mine,
Mother.
