Withered Grass

The Hearthtrobs

In agony and in ecstasy

In laughter and in tears

Let the Heart throbs Mother! Dear Mother! When amidst praise

And when amidst curse

Let the heart throb Mother! Dear Mother! When amidst friends

Or when with foes

Let the heart throbs Mother Dear Mother! When happiness falls to my lot

Or when sorrow courts me

Let the heart throb Mother! Dear Mother! When I could sing aloud sweet

Or if I be dumb and song silent

Let my heart throb Mother! Dear Mother! When I could be by thy side

Or when separation gnaws my heart

Let my heart throb Mother! Dear Mother!
