Mother of Bosnia, A - Part 1

Three sons she has of Servian mold
As balsam for her widow's grief,
While in her Danka all behold
A treasure precious past belief.

Oh, lovely Danka! happy she,
More fortunate than all beside,
To be the pride of brothers three,
Themselves of Bosnia the pride!

In her they glory; she inspires
To freedom's never-ending fight,
And in their hearts burn patriot fires,
As stars upon the Turkish night.

And often at the mother's door
Tears mingle with the words that bless:
" O gods of battle! guard my four —
My falcons and my falconess. "
