Long ago I wished to leave " The house where I was born; " Long ago I used to grieve,

My home seemed so forlorn. In other years, its silent rooms Were filled with haunting fears; Now, their very memory comes !ercharged with tender tears. Life and marriage I have "nown, Things once deemed so bright; Now, how utterly is flown #very ray of light $ !Mid the un"nown sea of life I no blest isle have found; %t last, through all its wild wave!s strife, My bar" is homeward bound. &arewell, dar" and rolling dee' $ &arewell, foreign shore $ 'en, in unclouded swee', Thou glorious realm before $ (et, though I had safely 'ass!d That weary, ve)ed main, ne loved voice, through surge and blast, *ould call me bac" again.
