John Hill Hewitt piosenki

1. [SOPRANO] How can I leave thee, land of the vine, In a strange land to weep and to pine? [TENOR] Come fly with me, love, joy waits for thee In the rich bowers over the sea. [DUETT] [SOPRANO] Oh, how can I leave the land of me birth Where the heart re...

1. I am far from my native home, On the wide and surgy see, While our gallant ship battles the foam, The wind screams its wild melody -- There's a glimmering light on our wake, 'Tis the beacon light on the shore, Like the last flash of Hope, its rays break on...

1. I cannot love another, For, when in youth we met, The flame I tried to smother, Lives in my bosom yet. Tho' other hands caress thee, And other hearts are thine; No other lips can bless thee, With warmer prayers than mine. 2. My last fond hope has perished,...

1. I knew thou would'st return, mine own wave toss'd; I know thou would'st return, again to me; When others said that ev'ry soul was lost, I claim'd thee of the dark and dang'rous sea. I knew thou would'st return, I knew thou would'st return. 2. I whisper'd t...

1. Not from thy lips came forth the sigh That bears sweet music to the ear; It beam'd not from thy soul-lit eye, A flower spoke the words so dear, "I live for thee" beam'd from its hue, On wings of fragrance came the spell; It glitter'd in the dip of dew...

'Twas early in the spring time When birds begin to mate When first I met young Ed-ward Brown By the garden gate Upon the evening's stillness his voice so sweet-ly fell The morning words he whispers I should'nt like to tell. In many a summer toiling We...

1. I will meet thee at evening twilight, When balmy zephyrs kiss each flow'r; I will meet thee when the gray night-bird Sings its wild strain withing thy bow'r. When the young stars, in all their beauty, Look down upon the waveless sea; And the pale moon, in q...

1. I will often thing of thee, And pleasant visions raise Of the spells that came o'er me In other happier days, When the hearts were pass'd as if each one Were but a mirror in the sun, Turning back the dazzling light It sheds upon the surface bright. 2. I wi...

1. I would not die in sprintime When river shed abound; And herring cleave the waters, While flow'rets deck the ground, When 'sparagus sprouting, And radishes are red; When winter, bluster'ring winter, Hides his diminished head. I would not die in springtime W...

1. I'll count the hours until we meet, For, dearest one, with thee They hurried on like coursers fleet, But now they laggards be. I'll count the hours of every day­­ That holds us thus apart, And shun the light that sheds no ray On my o'ershadow'd head....

1. I'll love thee when the spring flow'rs bloom-- For 'twas in spring we met; The blissful scenes which round us shone, Are fresh in mem'ry yet. I know that we were younger then, But hearts as true as ours, Have scarcely felt the chill of time, Or noted passin...

1. I'm only sixteen, 'tis a nice little age, I would not be younger or older Already I've round over Love's mystic page, And warm'd when I should have grown colder. I would like to be married, but, wedlock, they say, Has troubles which I've never seen; So, I'd...

1. I'm still thine own, I'm still thine own, Tho' thou hast wrong'd my trusting heart; I see thy coldness every day, And yet confess how dear thou art. The flow'r will court the rising sun, Although he steals its dew away; So I to thee with fondness look...

1. I'm thine alone, though other hearts may claim My wand'ring thoughts, this heart will turn to thee; At early morn, or evening's quiet time, Its secret beatings thine alone shall be. When pleasures twine bright visions round my way, And Joy illumes my soul's...

1. On my lonely picket rounds, When the silent stars are blinking, Oft I look towards the south, Of my home and lov’d ones thinking. But of all the cherish’d throng, If one’s dearer than the other, ’Tis that angel of my dreams­­ ’Tis my mother, darling mother....

1. I'm thinking of thee now Mary, Lone in my darken'd tent. The wintry winds without, Mary, With storms of heaven sent. But the storm within my breast, Mary, Is as the storm at sea When the good ship's hope is gone, Mary, For you are lost to me! When t...

1. If you love me, tell me so, Wait not till the summer glow Fades in aut-umn's changeful light, Am-ber clouds and purple night. Wait not till the winter hours Heap with snow-drifts all the flow'rs, Till the tide of life runs low, If you love me, tell...

1. In smiles we met, in tears we parted, Joy’s sunshine linger’d but a while, Its cheering ray a moment darted, Then came a tear for ev’ry smile. But we will drink of grief together, The cup hath lost its bitterness; For tho’ the rose in frost may wither, Its...

1. The times have changed since Christopher Columbus touch'd this rocky shore; What then was quite a wilderness, Is now the exiles lucky shore. Our fathers noble battles fought, Without the hope of pensioning; Now military pride is dress; Alas! it won't bear m...

1. Jannet, Jannet, my meek-eyed pet, The birds are on the wing, The flow'rs spread out their perfumed leaves Upon the lap of Spring. And all around from vale to hill, Is deck'd in garments gay; For every breeze that comes and goes, Sings happy songs of...
