My favorite poem about mothers, written Elizabeth Akers Allen in 1850 and set to music several times, becoming one of the most popular songs in the 1860s. Her life was tragic. Her first marriaged ended in abandonment and divorce; her second hubsand died of tuberculosis just a year after their married, and their only child died shortly afterwards.
