Are heard in Mother, Home & Heaven.

Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!

can find among their burning terms of love,
None so devotional as that of "mother".

is the hand that rules the world.

Who ran to help me when I fell,
And would some pretty story tell,
Or kiss the place to make it well?
My mother.
