¶Lyrics / Text

On! on! thou eagle pinioned bark, Haste on thy watery way! Thou’lt meet the tempest wild and dark For many a weary day. For many a day and many a night Thou’lt plough the billow deep, Or o’er the crested waves, in light Majestic beauty sweep. Onward! thou gallant ship! nor fear The raving tempest’s wrath— outbrave it all, and boldly steer Right on thy homeward path! I long to hear the ocean’s foam Dash on my native strand; I long to breathe the gales that come From my own Father’s land! I long, oh! how I long to see The elm-o’er-shadow’d cot; Of all this clouded world, to me The only sunny spot. My home! how sweet the sound! My home! Scene of my early hours— Where love, and joy, and pleasure bloom, Life’s bright perennial flowers.
