Gentle Mother

By the side of a clear crystal fountain
There stands a lonely churchyard closely by
There's a tombstone decorated with primroses
In the memory of the loved one passed away

Shall I ne'er see a more gentle mother
In the field where the wild flowers grow?
Gathering flowers as they grew amongst the wild woods
And I cherish 'twas no trouble onto you

Some children take a liking to their parents
While some others fill their mothers' hearts with pain
But some day they will be sorry for their blindness
When crying will not bring her back again

Shall I ne'er see a more gentle mother
In the field where the wild flowers grow?
I am sorry for that loss I can't recover
'Neath yon willow lies my gentle mother's love
'Neath yon willow lies my gentle mother's love
