! sing again that mournful song, That song of other times! The music bears my soul along, To other, dearer climes.

I love its low and broken tone; The music seems to me Like the wild wind when singing lone Over a twilight sea.

My father's house, my infancy, Rise present to my mind, As if I had not crossed the sea, Or left my youth behind.
