The quiet mountains of the earth i love, the moving clouds the sun, the dewy leaf my quiet questioning of god above, my quite, tearless grief.

Warm kisses on the lips are playing as we awake to mother's face: the arms are seeking to embrace her, the eyes are smiling as they gaze. How sweet to die for the native country, where friendly shines the sun above! Death is the breeze for him who has no country, no mother, and no love!
