When the twilight shades are failina. And the sun has gone to rest: While the katydid Is calling - And the birds have gone Co nest. Then 1t is my heart is pining
 For my old home far away Where the sun is always shining
 Turning darkness into day. I fancy every little nook
 Among the rocks and hills. l hear the rippling of the brook.
 The blueJay's warbling thrills! J see the cattle grazing.
 And the sheep In sweet repose. On the hillside, where the lingering Twilight shadows softly glow. Inside the quaint old farmhouse
 The lights are burning low, As the old folks sit at evening
 While the freslde smbers glow. I'd give my life to be there,
 Just to join them for a while. To shake my dear old fathers hand
 And see my mother smile. see the same old meadows,
 And the fields of new mOwn hag As they all come back in fancy
 To recall my boyhood days. My heart is ever plninR
 For the dear old home again. Where the golden sun Is shining
 On the fields of waving grain. What's the use to sat anH wish
 For things we know we cannot Ratn And as much as I am longing
 For the old place once again. 1 know that God will never spare me.
 Never give me strength Co go Back to see my dear old homestsad
 Which I left so long ago.
