Subject(s): Exiles
There's a country that I love, far away,
Where my thoughts in vagrant fancy play,
O'er that rolling prairie land
Where the gorgeous maples stand,
With autumn leaves uptossing, far away.
Oh, the evergreens in winter, far away,
When snow has fallen softly through the day,
They are lovely statues white
In the starlit, glittering night.
They cast a hint of magic, far away.
By an ivy-covered farmhouse, far away,
Where my aged loved ones ever stay,
In a flower-shadowed yard
Where the hollyhocks stand guard,
There's a green-grown tiny mound, far away.
