A THOUGHT OF HOME AT SEA.
WRITTEN FOR MUSIC.
Tis lone on the waters
When eve's mournful bell
Sends forth to the sunset
A note of farewell;
When eve's mournful bell
Sends forth to the sunset
A note of farewell;
When, borne with the shadows
And winds as they sweep,
There comes a fond memory
Of home o'er the deep;
And winds as they sweep,
There comes a fond memory
Of home o'er the deep;
144
When the wing of the sea-bird
Is turn'd to her nest,
And the thought of the sailor
To all he loves best!
Is turn'd to her nest,
And the thought of the sailor
To all he loves best!
'Tis lone on the waters—
That hour hath a spell—
To bring back sweet voices,
With words of farewell!
That hour hath a spell—
To bring back sweet voices,
With words of farewell!
