Because I know Some-where in the Heavens above The Saints will ponder To come through terms of Love Be no more radiant maiden there Than by the name of Mother, Fair! Therefore by the name For years I have set aside and kept, No ill mannered fate Shall I accept! Thy beauty is to me As the many shores Upon the perfumed sea! By the name of Mother No other shall endure For no other Besides fair mother Holds a love I dare say pure!
