WHEN I GO HOME, by                    
First Line: No tears, no sorrowing farewells
Last Line: When I go home!
Subject(s): Death; Heaven; Dead, The; Paradise


No tears, no sorrowing farewells;
No drooping eye, no anguished breast;
I am but quitting scenes where dwells
The sadness that my soul oppressed:
Then let my care-worn spirit rest
When I go home!

No clasp of hands in last good-bye
Disturb my weary, waiting soul;
But, rather love-light fill the eye,
And waiting Hope point to the goal:
Let peace, unbroken, o'er me roll
When I go home!
