Representative Text

1 Twilight is stealing over the sea,
Shadows are falling dark on the lea;
Borne on the night-winds, voices of yore
Come from the far-off shore.

Refrain:
Far away beyond the starlit skies,
Where the love-light never, never dies,
Gleaneth a mansion filled with delight,
Sweet, happy home so bright!

2 Voices of loved ones! songs of the past!
Still linger round me while life shall last;
Lonely I wander, sadly I roam,
Seeking that far-off home. [Refrain]

3 Come in the twilight, come, come to me!
Bringing some message over the sea,
Cheering my pathway while here I roam,
Seeking that far-off home. [Refrain]
