I. AT last! In sight of home again, / Of home again; / No more to range and roam again / As at that bygone time? / No more to go away from us / And stay from us? - / Dawn, hold not long the day from us, / But quicken it to prime!
II. Now all the town shall ring to them, / Shall ring to them, / And we who love them cling to them / And clasp them joyfully; / And cry, "O much we'll do for you / Anew for you, / Dear Loves! -aye, draw and hew for you, / Come back from oversea."
