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.
