Who Will Care For Mother Now? |
Why am I so weak and weary? See how faint my heated breath, All around to me seems darkness, Tell me, Comrades, is this death? Ah! How well I know your answer; To my fate I meekly bow, If you'll only tell me truly, Who will care for Mother now? Chorus: Soon with angels I'll be marching, With bright laurels on my brow, I have for my country fallen, Who will care for Mother now? | 2. Who will comfort her in sorrow? Who will dry the falling tear? Gently smooth her wrinkled forehead? Who will whisper words of cheer? Even now I think I see her Kneeling, praying for me! How can I leave her in anguish? Who will care for Mother now? Chorus:
3. Let this knapsack be my pillow, |
