First Line: To wander in a foreign land... Alone
Last Line: To keep the tears away.
Subject(s): Nostalgia
To wander in a foreign land... alone...
Across a meadow... humming...
And suddenly to come upon
A small unprepossessing flower
Which blossomed in the fields of home.
Ah, that is when the voice turns husky
And the heart grows cold...
And one must walk with quick determined steps
And blinking eyes into the wind
To keep the tears away.
