Farewell 1919 'The Dream Song'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 14 Sep 2004

"Farewell" that grieving saddening word
to native land and loved one's dear.
For tho' 'tis brief upon the tongue.
Long are its leagues 'tis ages wide;
Death answers not its question sad
the grieving saddening word
Farewell! Farewell!

When I behold the stars at night
in heavens dome ashining
my heart in dreaming wanders back
to loved ones dear
to native land
but distance answers back my call
that saddening word "Farewell!"
"Farewell!"

But distance answers back my call
that grieving sadenning word
"Farewell!"
