FAR AWAY.*[1]
Far away!—my home is far away,
Where the blue sea laves a mountain shore;
In the woods I hear my brothers play,
Midst the flowers my sister sings once more.
Far away!
Far away! my dreams are far away,
When at midnight, stars and shadows reign;
"Gentle child," my mother seems to say
"Follow me where home shall smile again!"
Far away!
