- The Dear Home Land - Partition musicale
- The land was sweet with sunshine after April rain;
There were blossoms in the wood side, sang the birds again.
But my heart cried out in longing, all was sad to me,
And I wonder'd if 'twas springtime far across the sea !
In the dear home land, far across the sea,
I wonder'd was it springtime, where I lov'd to be;
Did the sunlight shine on the old sweet strand,
Were the birds of April singing in the dear home land ?
I could not find the blossoms that at home all grew,
And I miss'd the happy dear ones that of old I knew.
There were kindly faces round me but they knew not me,
And I wonder'd if they miss'd me far across the sea.
In the dear home land, far across the sea
Did they wonder was I happy,did they dream of me,
Did they sometimes long just to clasp my hand,
Or perchance, was I forgoten in the dear home land !
I dreamt I cross'd the waters, for my heart cried " go ";
It was springtime, and the dear ones, they had miss'd me so.
They came with smiles to greet me, and to me it seemed,
My heart with joy was breaking in the dream I dream'd,
My heart with joy was breaking, in the dream I dream'd.
I awoke once more on my way I went,
And my soul is overflowing with a deep content,
In the dear home land, far across the sea,
They remember me, they miss me, and they pray for me !

Alors qu'elle se promène dans les bois (plaques 2, 3, 5 et 10), une jeune femme tombe dans la nostalgie de sa vie passée. Elle n'arrive pas à s'habituer à sa nouvelle vie, entourée mais si seule intérieurement (plaque 6). Elle pense aux siens et imagine ce qu'ils sont en train de faire (plaque 7). Son voeu le plus cher est de pouvoir rentrer au pays (plaque 8) et de retrouver sa famille (plaque 9, 11 et 12).
