:Home no more home to me, whither must I wander? :Hunger my driver, I go where I must. :Cold blows the winter wind over hill and heather: :Thick drives the rain and my roof is in the dust. :Loved of wise men was the shade of my roof-tree, :The true word of welcome was spoken in the door– :Dear days of old with the faces in the firelight, :Kind folks of old, you come again no more. :Home was home then, my dear, full of kindly faces, :Home was home then, my dear, happy for the child. :Fire and the windows bright glittered on the moorland; :Song, tuneful song, built a palace in the wild. :Now when day dawns on the brow of the moorland, :Lone stands the house, and the chimney-stone is cold. :Lone let it stand, now the friends are all departed, :The kind hearts, the true hearts, that loved the place of old. :Spring shall come, come again, calling up the moorfowl, :Spring shall bring the sun and the rain, bring the bees and flowers; :Red shall the heather bloom over hill and valley, :Soft flow the stream through the even-flowing hours. :Fair the day shine as it shone on my childhood– :Fair shine the day on the house with open door; :Birds come and cry there and twitter in the chimney– :But I go for ever and come again no more.
