[Sky, stream, moorland, and mountain ]
SONG AND CHORUS.
SOPHIA AND FACTORY GIRLS.
Sky, stream, moorland, and mountain,
Tree, cot, spire, and dome,
Breeze, bird, vineyard, and fountain,
Kindred, friends, country, and home!—
Home, home, home, home!—
These are the blessings of home!
(The Factory-Girls now waltz cheerfully to the
music.)
Tree, cot, spire, and dome,
Breeze, bird, vineyard, and fountain,
Kindred, friends, country, and home!—
Home, home, home, home!—
These are the blessings of home!
Hope how fondly I cherish,
Dear land, to see thee once more!
O Fate! let me not perish
Far from my own native shore!
Home, home, home, home!—
Saxony, Liberty's home!
(The Girls waltz as before, etc.)
Dear land, to see thee once more!
O Fate! let me not perish
Far from my own native shore!
Home, home, home, home!—
Saxony, Liberty's home!
Those who freedom inherit,
Bow not to Tyranny's throne;
Then, friends, in a kind spirit,
Judge of my love by your own.
Home, home, home, home!—
The land of the heart is our home!
Bow not to Tyranny's throne;
Then, friends, in a kind spirit,
Judge of my love by your own.
Home, home, home, home!—
The land of the heart is our home!
