[00:27.437]Dearest love, do you remember,
[00:33.756]When we last did meet,
[00:39.503]How you told me that you loved me,
[00:45.814]Kneeling at my feet?
[00:52.127]Oh! how proud you stood before me
[00:58.361]In your suit of new,
[01:04.521]When you vow'd to me and country
[01:10.680]Ever to be true.
[01:16.835]Weeping, sad and lonely,
[01:23.267]Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
[01:29.708]When the cruel war is over,
[01:36.421]Praying that we meet again!
[01:42.860]When the summer breeze is sighing
[01:49.292]Mournfully along;
[01:55.173]Or when autumn leaves are falling,
[02:01.324]Sadly breathes the song.
[02:07.470]Oft in dreams I see thee lying
[02:13.899]On the battle plain,
[02:20.053]Lonely, wounded, even dying,
[02:26.217]Calling, but in vain.
[02:32.375]Weeping, sad and lonely,
[02:38.549]Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
[02:44.996]When the cruel war is over,
[02:51.449]Praying that we meet again!
[02:57.608]But our country called you, darling,
[03:04.046]Angels cheer your way;
[03:10.467]While our nation's sons are fighting,
[03:16.910]We can only pray.
[03:23.345]Nobly strike for God and liberty,
[03:29.499]Let all nations see
[03:35.927]How we love the starry banner,
[03:42.080]Emblem of the free.
[03:48.789]Weeping, sad and lonely,
[03:55.224]Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
[04:01.665]When the cruel war is over,
[04:08.095]Praying that we meet again!

Dearest love, do you remember,
When we last did meet,
How you told me that you loved me,
Kneeling at my feet?
Oh! how proud you stood before me
In your suit of new,
When you vow'd to me and country
Ever to be true.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
When the cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again!
When the summer breeze is sighing
Mournfully along;
Or when autumn leaves are falling,
Sadly breathes the song.
Oft in dreams I see thee lying
On the battle plain,
Lonely, wounded, even dying,
Calling, but in vain.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
When the cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again!
But our country called you, darling,
Angels cheer your way;
While our nation's sons are fighting,
We can only pray.
Nobly strike for God and liberty,
Let all nations see
How we love the starry banner,
Emblem of the free.
Weeping, sad and lonely,
Hopes and fears how vain! Yet praying,
When the cruel war is over,
Praying that we meet again!
