"ARE ALL THE CHILDREN IN?"

I thinks of times as night draws nigh of
an old house on a hill
Of a yard all wide and blossom-starred
where the children played at will:

And when deep night at last came down
hushing the merry din,
Mother would look around and ask
"Are all the children in?"

'Tis many and many a year since then,
and the old house on the hill
No longer echoes childish feet,
and the yard is still, so still......

But I see it all as the shadows creep,
and tho' many the years have been;
Since then I can hear my Mother ask,
"Are all the children in?"

I wonder if when those shadows fall on the
last short earthly day,
When we say goodbye to the world outside;
all tired of our earthly play;

When we meet the Lover of boys and girls
Who died to save them from sin,
Will we hear Him ask as Mother did,
"Are all the children in?"
