I Have No Mother Now

Lyrics

I hear the soft winds sighing
Among the boughs that wave,
Beneath is mother lying
So quiet in her grave.
Unbidden tears have started,
As by the mound I bow,
I think of when we parted’
I have no mother now.

Chorus:

She’s gone from earth to heaven,
She’s gone away, I have no mother now.

The pale moon shines so faintly,
Yet I in fancy see
Her face, so pure and saintly,
As when she smiled on me.
Although she’s safe in glory,
Yet care beclouds my brow,
There’s sorrow in my story’
I have no mother now.

(Chorus)

I feel so very lonely,
The future seems so drear,
My dear Redeemer only
Can make the pathway clear.
Of wounds, past mortal healing,
There’s few like this I trow;
This sad, heartbroken feeling’
I have no mother now.

(Chorus)
