A Reed by the River/Up Stairs
Appearance
UPSTAIRS
We mount the way to mother's room
For benediction waiting there,—
Her face, that crowns the twilight gloom
Above the stair.
For benediction waiting there,—
Her face, that crowns the twilight gloom
Above the stair.
We mount the way to mother's God,
Led by a benison of prayer
Step upon step, where she hath trod
Up life's steep stair.
