Here in her elbow chair she sits	A
A soul alert alive	B
A poor old body shrunk and bent	C
The queen bee of the hive	B
	-
But hives of bees and hives of men	D
Obey their several laws	E
No fiercely loving filial throng	F
This mother head adores	G
	-
This bringer of world wealth whereof	B
None may compute the worth	H
Is possibly of no account	I
To anyone on earth	H
	-
Her cap and spectacles that mean	J
Dim eyes and scanty hairs	K
The humble symbols of her state	L
The only crown she wears	K
	-
Lacking a kingdom and a court	M
A relic of the past	N
Almost a cumberer of the ground	O
That is our queen at last	N
	-
But still not wholly without place	P
Nor quite bereft of power	Q
A useful stopgap a resource	R
In many a troubled hour	Q
	-
She darns the stockings keeps the house	S
The nurseless infant tends	T
While the young matrons and the men	D
Pursue their various ends	T
	-
Too keen set on their great affairs	K
Or little plays and pranks	U
The things and people of their world	V
To give her thought or thanks	U
	-
The children on whom all her thought	W
And time and love were spent	C
Through half a century of years	X
Yet is she well content	C
	-
The schooling of those fiery years	X
It has not been for nought	C
A large philosophy of life	B
Has self less service taught	C
	-
The outlook from the heights attained	C
By climbings sore and slow	Y
Discovers worlds of wisdom hid	C
From clearest eyes below	Y
	-
So calmly in her elbow chair	Z
Forgotten and alone	A2
She knits and dreams and sometimes sighs	B2
But never makes a moan	A2
	-
Still dwelling with her brood unseen	J
Ghosts of a bygone day	C
The precious daughter in her grave	B
The dear son gone astray	C
	-
And others to whom once she stood	C
As only light and law	C2
The near and living and yet lost	C
That need her love no more	D2
	-
Watching their joyous setting forth	E2
To mingle with their kind	C
With scarce a pang with ne'er a grudge	F2
At being left behind	C
	-
'Let them be young as I was young	G2
And happy while they may'	H2
A dog that waits the night in peace	I2
Since it has had its day	C
