JOSE RIZAL For the wife keeps home faithfully, Inculcates love in her children For virtue, knowledge and country. For the Motherland in war, When the evening brings repose, CHILDREN: For the Motherland in peace, On returning joy awaits you, Will the Filipino keep watch, And if fate is adverse, the wife, Teach, us ye the laborious work He will live until life will cease! Shall know the task to continue. To pursue your footsteps we wish, For tomorrow when country calls us MEN: We may be able your task to finish. And on seeing us the elders will say: Now the East is glowing with light, MAIDENS: "Look, they're worthy 'f their sires of Go! To the field to till the land, Hail! Hail! Praise to labour, yore!" For the labour of man sustains Of the country wealth and vigor! Incense does not honor the dead Fam'ly, home and Motherland. For it brow serene's exalted, As does a son with glory and valor. Hard the land may turn to be, It's her blood, life, and ardor. Scorching the rays of the sun above... If some youth would show his love For the country, wife and children Labor his faith will sustain : All will be easy to our love. Only a man who struggles and works Will his offspring know to maintain.\  LESSON 4: Words By Angela Manalang Gloria Words By Angela Manalang Gloria I never meant the words I said So trouble not your honest head And never mean the words I write, But come and kiss me now goodnight The words I said break with the thunder of billows surging into spray; Unfathomed depths withhold the wonder of all the words I never say.
