歌词
When this dreadful war is ended
I will come again to you
Tell me dearest ere we sever
Tell me, tell me you'll be true
Though to other scenes I wander
Still your memory pure and bright
In my heart will ever linger
Shining with undying light
Do not weep love, sit beside me
Whisper gentle words of cheer
Be not mournful now my darling
Let me kiss away each tear
(Verse 2)
On the gory field of battle
Your sweet voice will nerve my hand
And when weary, sad, or wounded
Your fair image near me stand
In my visions, like some angel
You will turn my grief to bliss
On my pale and fevered forehead
I will often feel your kiss
Our dear native land's in danger
And we'll calmly bide the time
Till this dreadful war is over
And the bells of peace shall chime
(Verse 3)
When this dreadful war is ended
Soon I hope the day will come
Love's own star will lead my footsteps
Safely back to you and home
Oh, what joy again to meet you
When the threat'ning storm is past
And the flag our foes have planted
Flies in shreds upon the blast
Farewell, farewell! best and dearest
Do not let your heart repine
Though the sky may now look gloomy
Soon the sun will brightly shine
