MOTHER'S LOCKS OF SNOW. Copyright, 1887, by T. B. Kelley. 
It seems to me but yesterday. though long, long years have fled, When mother danced me on " her knee, while tender words she said; She called me her own darling child, and fondly me caress'd. she'd sing to me until I'd fall a sleeping on her breast. Methinks I see her gentle smile, her noble, winsome face, Methinks I see that faultless form, the regime of grace; . At sunrise she would take my hand, and in the fields we'd go. I'd pick wild flowers, and mingle them with mother's locks of snow 
Chorus. Mother's locks of snow, I oft gaze in the locket that she gave me long ago, Her dear old face is smiling there, so gentle and so fair; Tho' main years have passed since I a mother's love did know. I cherish still that simple curl of mother's locks of snow. 
No more she'll sing those songs to me I loved so well to hear. In memory I seem to hear her voice so soft and clear; She was too pure for this cold world, but anguish filled my heart. To hear her say as death drew near, one kiss, dear, ere we part. Her spirit fled, " and on her grave I've planted flowers rare, They bud and bloom, and fade away, as did her face so fair: Tho many years have passed since I a mother's love did know, I cherish still that simple curl of mother's locks of snow -Chorus.
