"Mother Heroic" lyrics

"Mother Heroic"

Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep

Wherefore onto thy knees
Come weep
With a prayer

Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep

Wherefore onto thy knees
Come weep
With a prayer

Mother heroic
Mother glorious

Beholding in thy eyes
Immortal tears

Oh thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face

Oh
