“Are we wealthy, MaMa ?” “Yes, my dears “/
Mother answered, while choking back tears../
But the rent’s in arrears/
For their future she fears/
And they haven’t been wealthy for years..

They used to be wealthy before/
The Austrians started a war/

And should not have been fought/
And now they ain’t wealthy no more.
