NOSTALGIA by MYRTLE HILL ERDMANN

First Line: O MY HEART IS LONGING, LONGING
Last Line: COME, MY CHILDREN, COME, COME HOME.
Subject(s): CHILDLESSNESS; LONGING; NOSTALGIA;

O my heart is longing, longing
For my children far away,
And the wind is sighing, sighing,
'Tis a bleak November day.
Leaves are falling on the grass
Whispering hope for those long gone,
While my heart is calling, calling,
Come, my children, come, come home.
