The farms of home lie lost in even, I see far off the steeple stand; West and away from here to heaven Still is the land. There if I go no girl will greet me, No comrade hollo from the hill, No dog run down the yard to meet me: The land is still. The land is still by farm and steeple, And still for me the land may stay: There I was friends with perished people, And there lie they.

Language: English
Stone, steel, dominions pass, Faith, too, no wonder; So leave alone the grass That I am under. All knots that lovers tie Are tied to sever; Here shall your sweetheart lie, Untrue for ever.
