Mother o' Mine
If I were hanged on the highest hill,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
I know whose tears would come down to me,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
If I were damned of body and soul,
I know whose prayers would make me whole,
Mother o' mine, O mother o' mine!
Enjoy the poem with beautiful music.

Who wrote the poem "Mother O' Mine"?
Joseph Rudyard Kipling (December 30, 1865 - January 18, 1936)
Joseph Rudyard Kipling was an English journalist, novelist, and poet. He was one of the most popular writers in England in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He was born in India, and his work including "The Jungle Book" showed much Indian influence.
"Mother O' Mine" explanation
In the poem, the speaker praises and
appreciates a mother’s unconditional love. A mother will always love her
children no matter what and will do anything for them. This poem was published
in the beginning of Kipling’s 1892 novel The Light That Failed. Some
critics speculate that Kipling added this poem in the novel (which had a sad
ending) to soothe his mother who reportedly preferred a happy ending to the
novel.
