Tolling from some grand old steeple
Deaths familiar tale to tell.

Swelling out from chapel dome,
And the singers chanting service,
Heimgdng" always going home.
Heimqangi" quaint and tender saying,
In the grand old German tongue
That has shaped Malancthon's praying
And the hymns that Luther sung;
Blessed is our loving Maker,
That where'er our feet shall roam,
Still we journey toward " God's-acre,"-
Heimgamg" always going home.
Heimgaag!" We are all so weary;
And the willows as they wave,
Softly signing in the breezes,
Woo US TO the tranquil grave;
When the golden pitchers broken
With its dregs or with its foam,
And the tender words are spoken,
