THE RETURN HOME.
O'er the heights,
And through the streights,
Let us go and let us fly!
By the floods,
And through the woods,
To our native air and sky!
And through the streights,
Let us go and let us fly!
By the floods,
And through the woods,
To our native air and sky!
Lovely land!
The bright and bland—
Crowned with festal royal skies—
Thou to me
Still seem'st to be
But the road to where joy lies!
The bright and bland—
Crowned with festal royal skies—
Thou to me
Still seem'st to be
But the road to where joy lies!

Home!—Oh! Home—
Sure those who roam
Know that word's rich meanings best;
Their Souls own
In that tone—
The language of their life expressed.
Sure those who roam
Know that word's rich meanings best;
Their Souls own
In that tone—
The language of their life expressed.
