Father
O father filled with stern nobility
Worn out hands, worn out body
How mysterious such gentle paternity!
Upright, steady, formidable, free
Yet tenderness flowing from deep-set eyes
Love for dear mother so plain to see
Leaner and leaned-on, depth beyond sighs
O pillar of strength!
O lover so kind!
For family love’s length
Will weather all time
