And mother in daughter;
Lies from the honest,
And truth from the liar -
Who fell through the air
To be born from the water,
And rose from the dust
To be lost to the fire.
Tell me, oh, tell me
The name of the mother
Who moved for the daughter
Who hated her own.
And tell me, oh, tell me
The name of the daughter
Who moved for the mother
Who waited alone.
(Please spoiler cut any answers.)

And I've rephrased the first verse to make the meaning a little clearer. Marginally.

I have answers to give (almost certainly incorrect), and if you ask me to explain my reasoning, I'll probably end up embarrassing myself. Regardless:
The mother is
The daughter is
Remember, I'm almost CERTAIN my answers are totally wrong, but what can I say? There are still some lines I don't quite grasp the meaning behind.

By the way, that's a pretty nice poem. You wrote that yourself?

Answers and reasoning:
To be born from the water,
To be lost to the fire.
The name of the mother
Who moved for the daughter
Who hated her own.
The name of the daughter
Who moved for the mother
Who waited alone.
Whew!
