6. I still have some little books she learnt me how to spell, and the
writing tips she gave to me I still remember well.
7. And then she use to kneel with me in the parlor each day, and raise my little hand to heaven and tell me what to say.
8. O Mother Mother in my heart thy image you shall be, and I hope in heaven at last I may meet with thee.
