Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto
Thy knees
Come we
With a prayer
Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Thy perfect sorrows
Are the world's to keep
Wherefore onto
Thy knees
Come we
With a prayer
Mother heroic
Mother glorious
Beholding in thy eyes
Immortal tears
Oh, thou that bowest
Thy ecstatic face
Oh-ooh...
