Dream voices
Language: English
I dream, alone, in the twilight, Watching the shadows play, A teardrop falls As my heart recalls Dear ones long passed away. When, over the hush of twilight, Over the wind's low sigh, Sweet and clear A song I hear, Voices from years gone by! Hearts that have loved can ne'er be parted, Fear not thy dear ones can forget; Still we are near thee, tender-hearted, Through joy and sorrow, loving yet! The darkness of night has fallen, I list for the song in vain; It passed away With the dying day, But the light and the joy remain; For in my heart is a singing, Tender and sweet and low, A song of love From the land above, Voices I used to know: Hearts that have loved etc.
