On come to my heart then, most treasured and
dear,
Though the wide world forsake YOU, YOUR home
is still here
There is rest for your labors, and balm for YOUR
woe,
And your sure place of refuge wherever YOU 90.
The sweet home of childhood is far from our
sight,
No star sends her rays through the thick spread
ing night:
Though clouds darken round, and the storms are
in view,
This heart is all summer when smiled on bv YOU
My bird, how the arrow has shattered thy wing ::
My rose, how thy fair hues have died with the
spring
My fawn, full Of lightness how wearied and spent
But thy wounds cry to heaven, and the cure will
be sent!
Oh come to my heart, then, most cherished
and dear,
Though the wide world forsake YOU, your well
come is here
no loud winds arising shall break your repose-
No cold frosts shall chill you, so warmly it clows
I'll Iull you with songs, and with dreams soft and
deep,
And calm DER your slumbers, my love, watch
I'll keep;
Oh doubt not the fond heart, It's steadfast and
true,
And strong, like the lions, with thinking of you.
