Twilight is steal­ing ov­er the sea,
Shadows are fall­ing dark on the lea;
Borne on the night winds, voic­es of yore
Come from the far off shore.

Refrain

Far away beyond the star­lit skies,
Where the love-light ne­ver, ne­ver dies,
Gleameth a man­sion, filled with de­light,
Sweet hap­py home so bright!

Voices of loved ones, songs of the past,
Still lin­ger round me while life shall last;
Lonely I wan­der, sad­ly I roam,
Seeking that far off home.

Refrain

Come in the twi­light, come, come to me!
Bringing some mes­sage over the sea,
Cheering my path­way while here I roam,
Seeking that far off home.

Refrain
