Jew beyond merit
What the mother did was but to live
She touched your tongue and spoke your life
Her old eyes saw more than the blind
At solutions cost
With a force of life's loan
And a worthy world
Her enduring sympathy never died with her
And her masked pride saved you from many a scoulding
And her pride starves every time you say
"I'm not good enough".
