FAR AWAY.
Far away!—my home is far away,
Where the blue sea laves a mountain shore;
In the woods I hear my brothers play,
'Midst the flowers my sister sings once more.
Far away!
Where the blue sea laves a mountain shore;
In the woods I hear my brothers play,
'Midst the flowers my sister sings once more.
Far away!
Far away! my dreams are far away,
When at midnight, stars and shadows reign;
“Gentle child,” my mother seems to say,
“Follow me where home shall smile again!”
Far away!
When at midnight, stars and shadows reign;
“Gentle child,” my mother seems to say,
“Follow me where home shall smile again!”
Far away!
Far away! my hope is far away,
Where love's voice young gladness may restore;
—O thou dove! now soaring through the day,
Lend me wings to reach that better shore,
Far away!
Where love's voice young gladness may restore;
70
Lend me wings to reach that better shore,
Far away!
