It is anonymous; but the poem goes as follows:

"I love you, Mother," said little John,

Then forgetting his work, his cap went on

And off to the garden he went to the swing,

Forgetting the coal and wood to bring.

"I love you, Mother," said little Nell,

"I love you better than tongue can tell."

Then she teased and pouted full half the day

So her mother rejoiced when she went out to play.

"I love you, Mother," said little Fan,

"Today I'll help you all I can;

How glad I am that school doesn't keep,"

And she rocked the baby 'til it fell asleep.

Then stepping softly she took the broom,

And swept the floor and dusted the room.

Happy and busy all day was she,

As helpful and busy as a child could be.

"I love you, Mother," again they said,

Three little children going to bed.
