Subject: RE: BS: Flight of the Earls
Guest JTT,
The song is "The Flight of the Earls"
From memory the 1st verse is:
Beside the campfires dismal blaze Amid the forests drear I picture in the dying rays The land to me so dear The lowly cot, the leaping stream, The spire upon the hill I see them as I lie & dream My heart is with them still
Can't really remember the other verses except the last:
The loving hearts I've left behind With mine in exile beat A joyous welcome sure I'll find When there someday we meet Oh haste ye weary laggard years And speed me o'er the foam To greet again 'midst happy tears My native land, my home.
