Oh, My Hazel-Eyed Mother

Oh, my hazel-eyed mother,

I looked behind the mulberry bush

And saw you standing there.

You were all in white

With a star on your forehead.


Oh, my hazel-eyed mother,

I do not remember what you said to me,

But the light floating above you

Was your love for your little girl.
