O'ER THE FAR BLUE MOUNTAINS.

O'er the far blue mountains,
O'er the white sea foam,
Come, thou long parted one,
Back to thine home!
When the bright fire shineth,
Sad looks thy place,

87

While the true heart pineth
Missing thy face.
Music is sorrowful
Since thou art gone,
Sisters are mourning thee,
Come to thine own!
Hark! the home voices call
Back to thy rest;
Come to thy father's hall,
Thy mother's breast!
O'er the far blue mountains,
O'er the white sea foam,
Come, thou long parted one,
Back to thine home!
 

Set to music by the Author's sister.
