歌词

[00:13.951] When this dreadful war is ended
[00:17.859] I will come again to you
[00:21.244] Tell me dearest ere we sever
[00:24.636] Tell me, tell me you'll be true
[00:28.264] Though to other scenes I wander
[00:31.634] Still your memory pure and bright
[00:34.981] In my heart will ever linger
[00:38.414] Shining with undying light
[00:41.814] Do not weep love, sit beside me
[00:45.451] Whisper gentle words of cheer
[00:48.829] Be not mournful now my darling
[00:52.207] Let me kiss away each tear
[00:57.144]
[01:07.259] (Verse 2)
[01:09.334] On the gory field of battle
[01:12.973] Your sweet voice will nerve my hand
[01:16.331] And when weary, sad, or wounded
[01:19.727] Your fair image near me stand
[01:23.391] In my visions, like some angel
[01:26.546] You will turn my grief to bliss
[01:30.196] On my pale and fevered forehead
[01:33.324] I will often feel your kiss
[01:36.664] Our dear native land's in danger
[01:40.306] And we'll calmly bide the time
[01:43.456] Till this dreadful war is over
[01:46.605] And the bells of peace shall chime
[01:51.206]
[01:54.310]
[01:56.654]
[01:59.554] (Verse 3)
[02:03.204] When this dreadful war is ended
[02:06.340] Soon I hope the day will come
[02:09.699] Love's own star will lead my footsteps
[02:12.845] Safely back to you and home
[02:16.240] Oh, what joy again to meet you
[02:19.033] When the threat'ning storm is past
[02:22.433] And the flag our foes have planted
[02:25.979] Flies in shreds upon the blast
[02:28.613] Farewell, farewell! best and dearest
[02:32.261] Do not let your heart repine
[02:35.631] Though the sky may now look gloomy
[02:38.485] Soon the sun will brightly shine
