Happy Mother's Day

Mother's Song

A Traditional Lullaby

My heart is like a fountain true

That flows and flows with love to you

As chirps the lark unto the tree

So chirps my pretty babe to me

There's not a rose where'er I seek

As comely as my baby's cheek

There's not a comb of honey-bee

So full of sweets as babe to me

There's not a star that shines on high

Is brighter than my baby's eye

There's not a boat upon the sea

Can dance as baby does to me

No silk was ever spun so fine

As is the hair of baby mine

My baby smells more sweet to me

Than smells in spring the elder tree

A little fish swims in the well

So in my heart does baby dwell

A little flower blows on the tree

My baby is the flower to me

The Queen has sceptre, crown and ball

You are my sceptre, crown and all

For all her robes of royal silk

More fair your skin, as white as milk

Ten thousand parks where deer do run

Ten thousand roses in the sun

Ten thousand pearls beneath the sea

My babe more precious is to me.
