Some morning I shall rise from sleep, When all the house is still and dark; I shall steal down and find my ship By the dim quayside, and embark.
To no strange country shall I come, But to mine own delightful land, With Love to bid me welcome home, And Love to lead mo by the hand.
We shall not hear the ticking clock, Nor the swift rustle of Time's wings; Nor dread the sharp dividing stroke, Being come now to immortal things.
With all those wonders to admire, And the heart's hunger satisfied Given af the last the heart's desire, We shall forget we ever died.
