There's only one mother; she's yours; she's mine,

She's an angel of mercy, sweet and sublime,

She's a savior of men, a heroine divine,

She's your darling mother; she's also mine.

She clings to her own when others have fled,

Who gave them but stones, when she gave them bread;

She cared for them by night and by day,

While others impatient went far away.
