Mother, I salute thee!
Rich with thy hurrying streams,

Cool with thy winds of delight,
Dark fields waving Mother of might,
Mother free.

Over thy branches and lordly streams,
Clad in thy blossoming trees,
Mother, giver of ease
Laughing low and sweet!
Mother I kiss thy feet,
Speaker sweet and low!
Mother, to thee I salute.
