My Tribute
Tune: Maryland, My Maryland.
Within my heart sweet strains 1 hear
Mother mine, oh, mother mine.
Your accents low and sweet and clear,
Mother mine, oh, mother mine.
The prayer you said, the songs you
sung,
The tales you told when I was young
Inspire my life, my heart, my tongue,
Mother mine, oh mother mine.
t (
I’he sterner virtues that you taught,
Father mine, oh father mine.
The victories won —the battles fought
Father mine, oli father mine.
Your courage gave and made me
strong
To shield tlie weak: put down tin*
wrong,
To upward lead the eager throng,
Father mine, oh, father mine.
I
When knowledge comes with treasure
rare,
Teacher mine, oh teacher mine.
You taught how the boon to share,
Teacher mine, oh teacher mine.
You lead me on in wisdom’s ways
Through pleasant paths and tangled
maze.
You cleared the way, dispelled the
haze.
Teacher mine, oil, tecaher mine.
I
The home, the school, the church com
bine,
Mother, father, teacher mine,
To touch the soul with life divine,
Mother, father, teacher mine.
Oli grant us this —our hearts’ desire,
To fill our souls with living fire,
Till each shall other’s lives inspire,
Mother, father, teacher mine.
