THE MOTHER OF WASHINGTON. 187

Whose first at waking, is your cradled son, What though no high ambition prompts to rear A second Washington, or leave your name Wrought out in marble with a nation's tears Of deathless gratitude yet may you raise A monument above the stars a soul Led by your teachings and your prayers to God.
