In life's glad day—
The song of her who used to love me
Far—far away—
It makes my sad heart, fonder—fonder—
Wildly obey
The spell that wins each thought to wander
Far—far away!
Once more upon my native river
The moonbeams play,
Once more the ripples shine as ever
Far—far away—
But ah, the friends who smiled around me,
Where—where are they!
Where the sweet spell, that early bound me,
Far—far away?
I think of all that hope once taught me—
Too bright to stay—
Of all that music fain had brought me,
Far—far away!
And weep to feel there's no returning
Of that glad day,
Ere all that brightened life's fresh morning
Was far—far away.
