Full Lyrics
Blissful dreams come stealing o’er me,
Bringing happy scenes gone by;
Where each day new pleasure’s bringing,
Left at heart no cause for sigh.
Home of peace! I see thy portals,
Hear the voices dear to me,–
Grasp the hands of pure affection,
And the glance of rapture see.
Tho’ each day fresh care be bringing,
That brief vision soothes my heart;
Bids me hope the day not distant,
When lov’d forms no more shall part.
Come sweet sleep, my eyelids sealing,
Come bright dream my soul to cheer;
Waft me back to scenes of pleasure,
Bring the smile and chase the tear.
