They taught me all I knew;
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.

By singing: -"Oh, how beautiful!" and sitting in the shade.

I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o'mine.

Our hearts where they rocked our cradle,
Our love where we spent our toil,
And our faith, and our hope, and our honor,
We pledge to our native soil.
God gave all men all earth to love,
But since our hearts are small,
Ordained for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all.

We had a kettle; we let it leak:
Our not repairing made it worse.
We haven't had any tea for a week...
The bottom is out of the Universe.
