68.
[Where were ye all? and where wert thou]
Where were ye all? and where wert thou
I saw an eye that shone like thine
But dark curls waved around his brow
And his stern glance was strange to mine
I saw an eye that shone like thine
But dark curls waved around his brow
And his stern glance was strange to mine
And yet a dreamlike comfort came
Into my heart and anxious eye
And trembling yet to hear his name
I bent to listen watchfully
Into my heart and anxious eye
And trembling yet to hear his name
I bent to listen watchfully
His voice though never heard before
Still spoke to me of years gone by
It seemed a vision to restore
That brought the hot tears to my eye
Still spoke to me of years gone by
It seemed a vision to restore
That brought the hot tears to my eye
