■•!£ TO DIE.
t»Y WMNBCZI!,]
Downon the river’s bank. Mother,
Where the tide the river swells,
I hear the cannon’s roar, Mother—
I see the blazing shells.
But then I fear them not, Mother,
As through the air they fly,
For God protects me now, Mother,
He’ll carry mfc home to die.
I hear across the stream, Mother,
Music, sweet and clear;
It makes me think of thee, Mother,
And all at home that’s dear.
Oh, yes,-my heart is touched, Mother,
The tear-starts in mine eye ;
In magic strains, I hear, Mother,
“Carry me home to die.”
This music to me is sweet, Mother,
As, in distant lands I roam,
But then myJieart is sad, Mother,
Because I’m far away from home.
But then I would not cause a tear
To startle in thine eye
For me, oh no, my Mother, dear,
But carry me home to die.
I d rather die at my peaceful home,
•And there be laid to rest,
Than die amid the battle storm,
And with honors high he blest;
But then I would not shun the death
A soldier bravely dies,
Oh, no; but Oh! I’ve lost my' health,
Oh, carry me home to die.
Ah yes! I’ve lost ray health, Mother;
Alas for me how true !
And now I’m sinking fast, Mother,
Oh, what—What eau I do !
I’ll seek, again to reach my home,
Though death be in my r eye ;
No more will I, from Mother roam ;
Oh, carry me home to die.
I’ve tried, but tried in vain, Mother.
My country here to serve,
For her I’ve suffered much, Mother,
For her, stretched every nerve :
But now my' soldiering days are o’er.
'Death stares me in the eye!
Oh, cafry me to my home once more,
Oh, carry me home to die.
But if I fail my earthly home,
To reach before I die,
Oh, I will hope, a better one
To reach beyond the sky,
Where peace will reign, and love, Mother,
Beam in every eye ;
Where will no more be heard, Mother,
' “Carry me home to die.”
And there I’ll hope to meet, Mother,
With thee, and others dear;
Where from our hearts will be, Mother,
Banished, every fear.
3fy’ faith in God, is strong, Mother.
In Him, I do rely,
And now I feel that He, Mother,
Will carry me home to die.
