MY HEART IS NORTH WITH YOU.
By Borneo's spicy headlands,
By reef and surf and palm,
Our screw is eastward steaming
On through the tropic calm;
The South's deep hush is round me;
The South's bright stars, I view;
My lonely watch, I'm pacing,
But my heart is North with you.
By reef and surf and palm,
Our screw is eastward steaming
On through the tropic calm;
The South's deep hush is round me;
The South's bright stars, I view;
My lonely watch, I'm pacing,
But my heart is North with you.
In gorgeous glory sinking,
The sun, the west, died down;
And how my fond heart tracked him
To one dear Kentish town;
To one far home, so dear, wife,
To one, so fond and true;
Oh! Kate, the South is round me,
But my heart is North with you!
The sun, the west, died down;
And how my fond heart tracked him
To one dear Kentish town;
To one far home, so dear, wife,
To one, so fond and true;
Oh! Kate, the South is round me,
But my heart is North with you!
