BALLAD OF A MOTHER'S HEART

By Jose La Villa Terra

The night was dark,

For the moon was young,
And the Stars were asleep and rare,
The clouds were thick,
Yet Youth went out,
To see his Maiden fair.

Dear one,
he pleaded as he knelt before her feet in tears.
My love is true,
Why you have kept me waiting all this years?
The maiden looked at him.
Unmoved it seemed,
And whispered low.

Persistent Youth,
You have to prove by deeds,
Your love is true.
"There's not a thing
I would not do for you, Beloved" said he.
"Then, go." said she. "To your mother dear,
And bring her heart to me.

Without another word,

Youth left and went to his mother dear.
He opened her breast and took her heart!
But he did not shed a tear.

Then back to his Maiden fair,

He run unmindful of the rain.
But his feet slipped, And he fell down,
And loud, he groaned with pain!

Still in his hand he held the prize,

That would win his Maiden's hands.
But he thought of his mother dear,
So kind,so sweet,so fond.

And then,
he heard a voice!
Not from his lips,
But all apart!

"Get up" it said.

"Were you hurt,Child?"
It was his mother's heart

II. Analysis
● The class will be divided into small groups and will
be given index cards with different stanzas of the
ballad. In their groups, students should analyze
the emotions conveyed in their assigned stanza,
and then share their findings with the whole class.

III. Abstraction (Generalization)

As the learners delve into the poem's themes of love and
sacrifice, they are encouraged to reflect on their own
familial relationships. From considering the sacrifices
their parents have made to understanding the ways they
express gratitude, the poem becomes a mirror reflecting
their own lives. By discussing cultural values embedded
in the ballad and connecting them to their own family
dynamics, students gain a deeper appreciation for the
intertwining of personal and cultural values. Additionally,
the exploration of emotions depicted in the poem
prompts students to recognize similar emotions in their
own lives, fostering a connection between the literary
piece and their lived experiences.

IV. Application
The learners will write a personal letter to their mothers
expressing their emotions to their mothers.
