## The words

Songs my mother taught me in the days long  
vanished, Seldom from her eyelids were the  
teardrops banished, were the teardrops  
banished.  
Now I teach my children each melodious  
measure often tears are flowing,  
flowing from my memory’s treasure.  
Songs my mother taught me  
in days long vanished.  
Seldom from her eyelids were the teardrops  
banished were the teardrops banished.
