RECALL by MARIE HINDELANG FLEMING

First Line: COME, GENTLE WINDS, AND WAFT
Last Line: TELL HIM THE HOURS ARE LONG.
Subject(s): SINGING & SINGERS; SONGS;
Come, gentle winds, and waft
Afar o'er shining hills my song
To him to whom my heart is giv'n;
Tell him the miles are long;
Tell him the hours are slow;
Tell him the sun is dark;
Bid him to haste away
And swiftly to embark;
Speed him on safe return,
When homeward bound he'll be;
Billow the spreading sail,
Hasten him home to me;
Come, zephyrs soft, and breathe
So gently in his list'ning ear my song;
This one to whom my heart is giv'n;
Tell him the hours are long.
