All delusion and confusion, Mother dear!

But my dream was a delusion, Mother dear!
All delusion and confusion, Mother dear!

Spacious street and splendid square, Mother dear;
Like some Frankish city rare, Mother dear!

All delusion and confusion, Mother dear!

The baths were clean and sweet, Mother dear;

" Weep not, Mother dear, I pray, nor worry:
I will buy you sugar-loaves and sweets untold,
And a pretty out-door mantle stitched with gold,
For when crushed by household care, Mother dear!
You fill me with despair, Mother dear! "
