Up through the willows
Breathes the restless rivers song,
Telling the secrets
1t hath hidden long;
We must follow, follow
To life's wider. deeper sea,
And, o loving mother,
Say farewell to thee.
Sing we while the tear-drops start,
Mighty, yet tender,
Is thy mother-heart.
AZ meath thy willows
The swift river foweth on,
May Ii remind thee
OF thy children gone.
May thy love-light ever
Add more brightness to our day,
As with strong endeavor
Press we on our way.
Colby, gracious mother,
Words our love can never tell,
Yet we must leave thee,
With this last farewell.
