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!
