THE MOTHER'S OFFERING.

[figure description] Page 150.[end figure description]

BY MISS A. D. WOODBRIDGE.

I
Hannah, to Shiloh, brought her child,
The beautiful, the pure;
The weary way he had beguil'd
With many an artless lure,
Yet now she nerv'd herself to part —
Ah! woman's strength is in her heart.
II
Once and again she fondly press'd
Her own, her cherish'd one;
With tearful eye, the babe she bless'd,
And then she felt 'twas done!
He was the Lord's! an off'ring fair,
The mother joy'd to leave him there.
