Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936). Verse: 1885–1918. 1922.
Mother o Mine
I
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o’ mine, O mother o’ mine!
