God bless the mothers of this land!
They are so good and true;

And all the sisters of their band,
They are so noble, too.

If we don't treat them with respect,
And court their wholesome 'fluence,

Our morals will not be correct,
And we will suffer hence.

If women are not treated with respect, and made to exercise an influence over the social world, the standard of private virtue and public opinion will be lowered, and the morals of men will suffer.
