| Album | Words For You |
| [00:01.38] | Backward,turn backward,O Time,in your flight |
| [00:06.51] | Make me a child again just for tonight! |
| [00:09.18] | Mother,come back from the echoless shore, |
| [00:12.31] | Take me again to your heart as of yore |
| [00:15.31] | Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care |
| [00:18.80] | Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair |
| [00:21.93] | Over my slumbers your loving watch keep |
| [00:25.02] | Rock me to sleep, mother,rock me to sleep! |
| [00:30.36] | Backward,flow backward,O tide of the years! |
| [00:34.40] | I am so weary of toil and of tears,— |
| [00:37.71] | Toil without recompense,tears all in vain |
| [00:41.63] | Take them,and give me my childhood again |
| [00:45.74] | I have grown weary of dust and decay |
| [00:48.90] | Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away |
| [00:51.68] | Weary of sowing for others to reap |
| [00:54.81] | Rock me to sleep,mother rock me to sleep! |
| [01:02.23] | Tired of the hollow,the base,the untrue |
| [01:06.51] | Mother,O mother,my heart calls for you! |
| [01:09.51] | Many a summer the grass has grown green |
| [01:12.23] | Blossomed and faded,our faces between |
| [01:15.63] | Yet,with strong yearning and passionate pain |
| [01:19.15] | Long I tonight for your presence again |
| [01:22.11] | Come from the silence so long and so deep |
| [01:25.64] | Rock me to sleep, mother,rock me to sleep! |
| [01:31.26] | Come, let your brown hair,just lighted with gold |
| [01:35.31] | Fall on your shoulders again as of old |
| [01:38.53] | Let it drop over my forehead tonight |
| [01:41.26] | Shading my faint eyes away from the light |
| [01:44.58] | For with its sunny-edged shadows once more |
| [01:47.72] | Happly will throng the sweet visions of yore |
| [01:50.89] | Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep |
| [01:55.34] | Rock me to sleep, mother, – rock me to sleep! |
| [02:04.57] | Mother, dear mother, the years have been long |
| [02:07.57] | Since I last listened your lullaby song |
| [02:11.00] | Sing, then, and unto my soul it shall seem |
| [02:14.32] | Womanhood’s years have been only a dream. |
| [02:17.97] | Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace |
| [02:21.96] | With your light lashes just sweeping my face |
| [02:25.90] | Never hereafter to wake or to weep— |
| [02:30.75] | Rock me to sleep, mother– rock me to sleep! |
| [00:01.38] | Backward, turn backward, O Time, in your flight |
| [00:06.51] | Make me a child again just for tonight! |
| [00:09.18] | Mother, come back from the echoless shore, |
| [00:12.31] | Take me again to your heart as of yore |
| [00:15.31] | Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care |
