“ The eye is turned away; Yet my heart—my heart is breaking For the love of Alice Gray. I've sunk beneath the summer's sun, And trembled in the blast; But my pilgrimage is nearly done, The weary conflict's past. And when the green sod wraps my grave, May pity haply say, "Oh ! his heart—his heart was broken For the love of Alice Gray!" This work was published before January 1, 1929, and is in the public domain worldwide because the author died at least 100 years ago. ”
Quotes from New minstrel ()
“ Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy I'm away to my comrades, away. Then at night, then at night, O, a gay Swiss boy I'm away to my comrades, away. The cup we fill, the wine is passed, In friendship round, untill at last, With "Good night," and "Good night," goes a happy Swiss boy To his home and his slumbers away. ”
“ MARCH TO THE BATTLE FIELD. March to the battle field, The foe is now before us; Each heart is freedom's shield, And heaven is smiling o'er us. The woes and pains, the galling chains. Which kept our spirit under, In proud disdain we've broke again, And tore each link asunder. ”
