Upon the other side, saw
The Lights reflected there;
And, as gazed, longing cam

And walk upon the good old soil
I'd often trod before.
Last night 1 dream that once again
saw the old, old home
Where Oft, when was but a lad,
My wandering steps O id roam
I'd crossed unto the OF her side
OF this wide, running stream;
Alas! woke in full delight,
To find it put a dream.
Oh, could but retrace the yearsi
And backward go once more,
would not then be cursing aate
Upon this barren shore.
What recks it that have the gold
Wherewith to pass all mes
Since must while away the years
In this most wretched climei
Ye stars that shine so bright tonight
In yonder vault above,
How'merrly ye're looking down
On friends that do love.
Would Iwere there; but yawns gull,
Wide as eternityl
The sherifs arm, the broken trust
Doom me to misery!
So, here an exile must stay,
On this cold. barren land;
No sight OF home, or kindred dear.
No grasp OF friendly hand;
With gnawing thoughts ofkeen remorse,
Like specters. ever near;
Nor one kind smile, nor welcome glance
