美国作曲家奥德威(John P. Ordway)《梦见家和母亲》(Dreaming of Home and Mother):
梦见家里,亲爱的老房子!我的童年和母亲的家;
家,亲爱的家,童年时的幸福之家,当我和兄弟姐妹一起玩耍时,

听!这是她的声音,我似乎听到。是的,我梦想着家庭和母亲。
天使来了,安慰我休息,我可以感觉到他们的存在,没有其他;
他们说我会幸福甜蜜;随着家庭和母亲的美好梦想

看到她爱的形式在我身边跪下,而我梦想着家庭和母亲。
母亲亲爱的,现在对我耳语,告诉我我的姐姐和我的兄弟;
现在我感觉你的手在我的额头上,是的,我梦想着家庭和母亲

See her loved form beside me kneel,While I'
