True Are the Mothers (feat. Nancy Kerr & Kathryn Roberts)

Ange Hardy & Lukas Drinkwater - Topic

Lyrics:
True are the mothers of hazel and birch
Strong is the tree for the root
Many the stages of labour and birth
Throughout the ages stood

I am a mother of hazel and birch
Fertile the soil through heart to the root of birth
All of my little ones call on my care
To feed from the fruits of the earth

True are the mothers of ash and of oak
Strong is the tree for the root
None are forgotten for good is the home
Throughout the ages stood

I am a mother of ash and of oak
Many are welcome to shelter all by my cloak
Nesting my little ones all in my care
To feed from the fruits of the earth

True are the mothers of elder and pear
Strong is the tree for the root
Feeding the little ones all in good care
Throughout the ages stood

I am a mother of elder and pear
All of the sickness and poison I breathe in
When nurturing little ones all in my care
To feed from the fruits of the earth
