WELCOME ME HOME.
I
Gaily the TroubadourTouch'd his guitar,
When he was hastening
Home from the war.
Singing “From Palestine
Hither I come,
Lady love! Lady love!
Welcome me home.”
II
She for the TroubadourHopelessly wept;
Sadly she thought of him,
When others slept;
Singing “In search of thee
Would I might roam,
Troubadour! Troubadour!
Come to my home.”

III
Hark! 'twas the TroubadourBreathing her name,
Under the battlement,
Softly he came,
Singing “From Palestine
Hither I come,
Lady love! Lady love!
Welcome me home.”
