Show WILL THE ROBIN SING THDA Will the robin sing in that land That land so fair and so far That lies as our souls fondly dream In the depths of the uttermost star Will the violet bloom in that land And the mosses so sweet and so shy All the dear common things that we love In the dim distant deeps of the sky Will the children sing in that land All the sweet simple songs of the earth And shall we rejoice and be glad In their music and frolicsome mirth Oh will there be friends in that land Friends who love and rejoice in our love Will they look will they speak will they smile Like our own mid the strangeness above Oh shall we have homes in that land To return to whereer we may roam Oh the heart would be lonely and sad Een in heaven if we had not a home I love not the new and the strange But a friend and the clasp of his hand Oh I would that my spirit could know That the robin will sing in that land Womans Magazine |
