lyrics

In the blush of dawn
Moves a woman torn.
At the hearth of her breast
Sleeps her infant son.

Both joy and distress
Does her heart possess.
Cold limbs trembling,
She mouths a heavenward plea:

“May it ever remain that no sorrow or harm havoc him.
May it ever be plain that no morrow waits uneager for him.
And may I ever retain a gravity and grace.
Amen.”

As a velvet breeze
Carries forth in threes
Muted angelus bells,
A verve inside of her swells.

“May it ever remain that no sorrow or harm havoc him.
May it ever be plain that no morrow waits uneager for him.

To all mothers past, who now glow beyond the firmament,
I call upon thee now.

O, may it ever be plain that no morrow waits uneager for him.
May it ever remain that no harm havoc him.

To all mothers past, who now glow beyond the firmament,
I do call upon thee now.”
