Lyrics
- I saw again my lovely fatherland
The oaks that tower broad and grand
The clear and purling stream
It was a dream - I prest the cheek of one I loved in youth
And heard her words of hope and truth
Her eyes on me did beam
It was a dream - Tho’ far from home, my heart, my soul was there
My life no longer knew a care
How brief that joyful gleam
It was a dream
