Good News From Home

Good News From Home
2249

Good news from home, good news for me
Has come across the deep blue sea
From friends that I have left in tears
From friends that I’ve not Bect for years;
And since we parted long ago,
My life has been a scene of woe
But now a joyful hour has соте
For I have heard good news from home

No father’s near to guide me now
No mother’s tear to soothe my brow
No sister’s voice falls on mine car
No brother’s sille to give me cheer,
But the I wander far away
My heart is full of joy today
For friends ueross the ocean foam,
Have sent to me good news from home,

When shall I sse that cottage door
Where I’ve spent years of foy before?
Twas then I knew no grief nor cate,
My heart was always happy there;
Thơ I may never see it more:
Nor stand upon my native shore,
Where’er on earth I’m doomed to roam,
My heart will be with those at home
