Empty Are The Mother's Arms

Title:     Empty Are The Mother's Arms
Author: Alfred Castner King [More Titles by King]

Ah, empty are the mother's arms
Which clasp a vanished form;
A darling spared from life's alarms,
And safe from earthly storm.

In absent reverie, she hears
That voice, nor can forget;
The fond illusion disappears,--
Her arms are empty, yet.

[The end]
Alfred Castner King's poem: Empty Are The Mother's Arms
