SONG by ANONYMOUS

First Line: TIS A PITY I'M NOT IN ENGLAND
Last Line: BACK TO MY LOVE AGAIN!
Subject(s): ABSENCE;LOVE; SEPARATION;ISOLATION;
'Tis a pity I'm not in England
Or with one from Erin thither bound,
Or out in the midst of the ocean
Where the thousands of ships are drowned;

From wave to wave of the ocean
To be guided on with the wind and the rain--
And O King! that Thou mightst guide me
Back to my love again!
