Dear mother earth, farewell! From this sequestered spot, From this Andean dell, I go -- the wanderer's lot. For through the ether fall Voices my ear can tell; The dark blue waters call; Dear mother earth, farewell! Dear mother earth, farewell! The nymphs of ocean call, A message they would tell, Their arms about me fall. I go -- the wanderer's lot, From this Andean dell, From this sequestered spot. Dear mother earth, farewell! |
