Текст песни Susan Graham - Ives - Songs my Mother Taught Me

Songs my mother taught me in the days long vanished;
seldom from her eyelids were the teardrops banished.
Now I teach my children each melodious measure;
often tears are flowing from my mem’ry’s treasure.
Songs my mother taught me in days long vanished;
seldom from her eyelids were the teardrops banished.

Adolf Heyduk (1835–1923)
translation by Natalie Macfarren (1826–1916)
