FAR away! -- my home is far away, Where the blue sea laves a mountain-shore; In the woods I hear my brothers play, 'Midst the flowers my sister sings once more, Far away! Far away! -- my dreams are far away, When at midnight stars and shadows reign! "Gentle child!" my mother seems to say "Follow me where home shall smile again, Far away!" Far away! -- my hope is far away, Where love's voice young gladness may restore. -- O thou dove! now soaring through the day, Lend me wings to reach that better shore, Far away! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO A YOUNG ASS; ITS MOTHER BEING TETHERED NEAR IT by SAMUEL TAYLOR COLERIDGE WHEN THERE IS PEACE by HENRY AUSTIN DOBSON THE DAISY; WRITTEN AT EDINBURGH by ALFRED TENNYSON ECCE IN DESERTO by HENRY AUGUSTIN BEERS |
