“On Leaving England”
by Elizabeth Lambert
“The winds are high
The billows roar
My Native Land, farewell
I go a stranger from thy shore
In sunnier climes to dwell,”
“Yet mournful is the thought to me
The thought which brings a tear
That I must leave behind in thee
Some that my soul holds dear.”
“No heart is here so desolate
Which has not some dear name
Some chereished image of the breast
A wish, a prayer to claim.”
I have a father, dear to me;
A mother, too. She
Will often cast her tearful eyes,
In silent prayer for me.”
But let them not too deeply grieve,
To think that I am gone;
There is a God in heaven above—
He will protect their daughter”
“Old England, forever
No power shall sever
My heart from the and of my birth.
It’s the Land of the brave which none can enslave
It’s the happiest land upon Earth.”
Hail land of my birth
Brightest spot upon earth;
Shall I leave thee for others
No-never-
Wherever I may roam
Still thou art my home
Old England, my birthplace forever.:
