Songs Ysame

This is a volume of poetry written by the sisters Albion Fellows Bacon and Annie Fellows Johnston. Both of the sisters reached quite a level of fame in their own right, Ms Bacon primarily as a social reformer and Ms Johnston as an author of children's books. In this volume of poetry, they bring their two sets of skills together to write beautiful verses.

Motherhood.

FOR two dear heads of bronze and amber,

For baby eyes of blue and brown,

For two who cling, and kiss, and clamber,

And on my shoulder nestle down.

All little hearts are dearer to me,

All little faces sweet and bright,

All childish tears and woes undo me,

And I would heal them all to-night.
