Very good, class. I let you define those

unfamiliar words because those words are
found in the poem that we are going to
discuss for today.
So here’s a question for you to ponder on.
Motive Question
How could one reciprocate the

unconditional or selfless love of a
mother?
This question will be answered after the

discussion of the story. Yes, Ma’am.
Do you understand, class?
D. Discussing New Concepts and Practicing New Skills # 1

Today, we are going to discuss a poem
written by Jose La Villa Tierra.
Let’s now get ready to read the story.
First reading: by the teacher

Second reading: by the students
Ballad Of A Mother's Heart

by Jose La Villa Tierra
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.
(After reading the first stanza). How is the

first stanza being described? What literary
devices are used? Ma’am, it is the setting of the story. The moon
was hiding from the clouds seem it will be
raining because the stars are sleep.
Assonance and Rhyme, Ma’am.
That’s right. Now continue reading the

second, third and fourth stanzas.
(Students will read.)
"Dear One," he pleaded as he knelt
Before her feet, in tears,
"My love is true; why have you kept
Me waiting all these 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."
(After reading the second, third and fourth

stanza.) Now from the line “go to your
mother dear and bring her heart to me” in
fourth stanza, what does it tells about?
Ma’am, the line, “go to your mother dear and

bring her heart to me”, does not speak of its
literal meaning but it wants us to reflect on the
thought that no man could ever love a woman
whose own mother was not loved.”
That was a great explanation. Now
continue reading the fifth, sixth and
seventh stanzas. (Students will read.)
Without another word,

Youth left and went to his mother dear.
And opened her breast and took her
heart.
He did not shed a tear!
Then back to his Maiden fair he ran,

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 hand;
And he thought of his mother dear
So kind, so sweet, so fond.
(After reading the fifth, sixth and seventh

stanzas.) What do you feel after reading the
three stanzas?
Ma’am, I feel angry to the boy, because he is
willing to sacrifice his mother’s life just to prove
his love to the maiden. He only proves how he is
too much obsessed to the girl, that he didn’t
think all of the things that his mother has done to
him. He didn’t think that without her mother he
will not be here in this world.
Very good, class.

Now, class, what does the fifth stanza
show? What literary devices are used in the
fifth stanza?
I also agree to you. Now class, continue

reading the last stanza.
(Students will read.)
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.
(After reading the last stanza.)Now class

what do you think is the last stanza tells
about?
Ma’am, the protagonist of the poem is seeking a
young girl's love, but she tells him to prove
himself by bringing her his mother's heart. He
runs home, and without a second thought, tears it
out of her chest. In his hurry to deliver the heart,
he slips and falls. He hears a voice asking if he is
hurt and realizes it is his mother's heart.
Yes that’s right. Now, class, let’s read

again the whole poem.
(Students will read the poem in chorus.)
E. Developing Mastery

setting?
Students’ answer may vary
