To Mother

Naught my heart can sever
From my little mother —
Poor and small, but ever
Dearer than all other.

Should base birth malign her,
I'd refuse to hear it:
Love would still enshrine her
In my honest spirit.

Were she wizened smaller
Than a dwarf's shrunk seeming,
Still my heart would call her
Dear beyond all dreaming.
