WHEN LOVE WE SONG THE BEST.
When love we song the best?
When the voice of home we hear,
When the day hath hied to rest,
And our friends are smiling near!
Then we turn the leaves of song,
Whilst our fingers touch the keys,
And the spirit wake that long
Hath enchanted hours like these!
Then love we song the best,
When the voice of home we hear,
When the day hath hied to rest,
And our friends are smiling near!
When the voice of home we hear,
When the day hath hied to rest,
And our friends are smiling near!
Then we turn the leaves of song,
Whilst our fingers touch the keys,
And the spirit wake that long
Hath enchanted hours like these!
Then love we song the best,
When the voice of home we hear,
When the day hath hied to rest,
And our friends are smiling near!
When love we song the best?
When congenial souls among,
Then each feeling truly blest
Loves the eloquence of song!
When, like living harps, our hearts
Beat harmoniously within;
And the spell which it imparts,
Makes all ranks of life akin;
Then love we song the best,
When the voice of home we hear,
When the day hath hied to rest,
And our friends are smiling near!
When congenial souls among,
Then each feeling truly blest
Loves the eloquence of song!
