Song. - Osborne, 1882.

Topics: classic

Here Rose and Magnolia     Our dearest enshrine,     The prayer of the south wind     Is thine and is mine,     For Child and for Mother     Here sweetly twice isled,     Brave Seamen are praying     For Mother and Child.     Where State must surround them     Beneath the Great Keep,     And green oaks of Windsor     Shade River and Steep,     For Child and Queen-Mother     The choristers aisled,     With armed men are chanting     For Mother and Child.     Away where the Heather     Blooms far o'er the Pine,     The Highlander's blessing     Is mine and is thine,     For Child and for Mother     Beloved and mild;     What heart does not bless them,     Dear Mother and Child.
