Songs my mother taught me
In the days long vanish'd
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banish'd
Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure
Oft the tears are flowing
Oft they flow from my mem'ry treasure
In the days long vanish'd
Seldom from her eyelids
Were the teardrops banish'd
Now I teach my children
Each melodious measure
Oft the tears are flowing
Oft they flow from my mem'ry treasure
