Sweet sunny Isle! my native land! How dear thou art to me, Were all the world at [Illustration: musical score] my command, I still would cling to thee. My boyhood’s home could I forget? Though I might be forgot; For those I love are living yet, In that dear cherish’d spot. For those I love are living yet In that dear cherish’d spot. Sweet sunny Isle! though now a man, Wherever I may roam, My heart I know it never can Forget my boyhood’s home. One only hope one only care Next that of Heaven above, That I might once again be there— Once more with those I love. Those kindred hearts, those loving friends, And all my boyish pets, Would welcome me and make amends For all long past regrets. But ah! I fear ’twill never prove Again my happy lot; Then all I ask of those I love, One thought—“Forget me not.” * * * * * Transcriber’s Notes: Table of Contents has been added for reader convenience.
