O My darling Mother!
Great is thy love for me
And my love for thee.
Our love will last as long
As the world will last.
Thou hast put me on earth
Expecting great things from me,
And great was thy joy
When I was born.
When I am happy,
Thou art happy too.
But when I am sad,
Thy heart seems to cry, too.
Thou art my heart,
O My darling Mother!
As thou art still alive,
I must imagine that
My light is still shining on earth.
When the light
Will be gone,
The world will be dark,
Dull and dim painted
With the colours of death.
Blessed art thou among women,
O My darling Mother!
Being the fairest in the world,
Thy face is like that of an angel
And thy heart is like that
Of Virgin Mary.
