Twilight is falling over the sea,
Shadows are stealing dark on the lea;
Borne on the night winds,
voices of yore
Come from the far off shore.
Far away beyond the starlit skies,
Where the love-light never, never dies,
Gleameth a mansion,
filled with delight,
Sweet happy home so bright!
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.
Far away beyond the starlit skies,
Where the love-light never, never dies,
Gleameth a mansion,
filled with delight,
Sweet happy home so bright!
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.
Far away beyond the starlit skies,
Where the love-light never, never dies,
Gleameth a mansion,
filled with delight,
Sweet happy home so bright!
