FROM THE GERMAN

SONG OF THE LONELY.

Son, first-born, at home abiding!

All without is cold and bare: Hide me from the tempest's chiding

Warm beside the Father's chair.

I am homesick, Lord of splendour!

Twilight fills my soul with fright: Let thy countenance befriend her,

Shining from the halls of light.

I am homesick, loving Father!

Long years hath the pain increased: Soon, oh soon! thy children gather

To the endless marriage-feast.
