W:Beside the camp fire's fitful blaze,
W:amid the forest dread.
W:I picture in the dying rays
W:the home to me so dear.
W:The lowly cot, the leaping stream,
W:the spire upon the hill,
W:I see them as I lie and dream,
W:my heart is with them all.
W:
W:To my green isle my thoughts return,
W:Sweet Erin ever blest,
W:For thy deep valleys oft I yearn,
W:Wherein my kindred rest,
W:The shamrock springs within my heart
W:When Patrick's day is nigh.
W:For thought from home and friends apart
W:To them fond mem'ries fly.
