George Frederick Root piosenki

1. Sad as the music low and dim, That comes from the seashell lone, Swell the parting note of a funeral hymn, For the spirit ever gone. Father! thou a soul hast taken, Left our hearts dark and forsaken; One more earthly course is run; God of love, thy will be...

1. On the bright and beautiful shore Of the silver Juna's stream, In the vine clad cottage all bowered in the trees Lived the gentle and lovely Aleen; Where the morn's first glorious light Woke the praise of bird and flower, In its goldern radiance knelt the l...

1. Along the river of time I glide, Along the river, along the river, My little boat rocking from side to side light boat rocking, my light boat rocking, Yes where-so-ever the winds do blow, Still hither, thither I drifting go. REFRAIN Floating, (floating,) f...

1. There is a sweet romantic spot Down by the Hudson side, Where here and there a rustic cot Peeps thro’ the trees with pride; Should Cupid pass this scene so dear, Tho’ arm’d with shaft and bow, He’d leave his heart in bondage here, With charming, cha...

1. The sad autumn winds! how they wail as they pass O’er trees, bare and leafless, and the dry, withered grass! They mourn for the summer departed and gone, And dread winter, cold and dreary, fast coming on. Sigh, autumn winds, in your flight wild and free, M...

1. [SOLO BARITONE] Away! away! away! On the foam crusted wave of the blue deep are we, Yes, away! away! away! For our labor is out on the sea. [CHORUS with overlapping voices with SOLO BARITONE] Away o’er the feathery crest of the bright blue sea, of th...

[SOLO] Lin-ger not, lin-get not, speed thee a-way, Bird of the North, for the chill blast is nigh; Fly to thy green sun-ny bow-ers so gay, Sing while the soft words go mer-ri-ly by. Lin-ger not, lin-ger not, why shouldst thou stay, Na-ture no lon-ger is smil-i...

1. [SATB] Blow, warder, blow thy sounding horn! And thy banner wave on high! For the Christians have fought in the holy land And have won, have won the victory, And have won the victory, [B] Then the warder looked from his tow’r on high, [T] As far as h...

Break, break, break, On thy cold gray shore, O sea! Break, break, break, On thy cold gray shore, O sea! And I would that my tongue could utter The thoughts that arise in me, The thoughts that arise in me. O well for the fisherman's boy, That he shouts with his...

1. Full well do I remember My boyhoods happy hours, The cottage and the garden Where bloomed the fairest flowers, The bright and sparkling water O'er which we used to sail With hearts so gay, for miles away Before the gentle gale. I had a dear companion But sh...

1. Brightly beaming, softly gleaming, Falls the sunlight on the sea; While o’er fountain, rill and mountain, Breeses whisper lovingly: Whisper blessings, Minnie, darling, Blessings pure and bright for thee. CHORUS [sung with Verse 1, with overlapping voi...

1. Now I am old and my locks are gray, The summer of youth bright and fair, Calls me no more with its sunshine gay, And merry hues it used to wear; Still I look back on my childhood hours, When free as a wild bird strayed, Life was a garden of fairest flowers,...

1. Yes, beloved ones at home we remember Ah, how can the soldier forget; All the vows that were said when we parted Are sacred and dear to him yet. When the night throws its mantle around us, We dream neath the heaven's starry dome; Of the dear whose sweet spe...

1. Chant we now a mournful anthem, Now a parting song we bring; Blend once more our youthful voices, While a dirge-like strain we sing. Tears are from our eyelids falling, Wildly throbs each saddened heart! Sisters, from these scenes we're going; Sisters, we a...

1. Come to me quickly! lov'd ones dear, In a distant land I'm dying; Sweetly the vision my heart would cheer The heart that for you is sighing. O, how I long to behold once more, Those who have lov'd me in days of yore, Trembling I stand on this mortal shore,-...

1. Sleep, my child, the shadows fall, Silent darkness reigns o’er all; Bird and bloom are lost to sight In the folded arms of night; Stars will soon from cloud-land peep, While all nature lies asleep. 2. Buds are sleeping, close thine eyes, Waken with a soft...

1. O you dearest brother we miss thee, With joy would we welcome thee home; Thy place here too long has been vacant O say wilt thou never return! We miss thee at morning and evening, And then the calm sabbath day: We listen again for thy coming, But no, thou a...

1. The dearest spot of earth to me Is home, sweet home, The fairy land I've longed to see Is home, sweet home, There how charm'ed the sense of hearing, There where hearts are so endearing All the world is not so cheering As home, sweet home. CHORUS [sung afte...

1. Sweet voices from the spirit land I hear, Now breathing pure and holy lays With heavenly tones awaking mem'ries dear, Of loved and long desired days, CHORUS They come, beloved from the distant shore, Where joy illumes with golden rays And softly in each so...

1. Don't you see me coming, coming, coming right along, Here's the little grassy meadow where I sing my song. I am mister Bob o Link_en, that I s'pose you know, Blitsey Leedle is my wife she's in the grass below, yes, yes, yes, Don't you see me comming, coming...
