'Mid a gallant throng did that son oi^song
Tune his barp, but not so merrily ;
For his thoughts would roam to his distant home,
To the green hills smiling cheerily.
With trembling hand, of his fatherland
He sang with s«ch deep emotion ;
And a tear-drop came as he breath'd the name
Of the maid of his soul's devotion.
Oh! 'mid a gallant throng did that son of song
Tune his harp, but not so merrily ;
For his thoughts would roam to his distant home,
To the green hills smiling cheerily.
