Part 2 — ADIEU, MY NATIVE LAND.
Reading edition
WORDS BY D. W. BELISLE.
ARRANGED FOR THE PIANO, BY JAMES PIPER.
My native land adieu;
Ye blooming, sunlit hills,
Ye mountains tipped with blue,
And lovely, dancing rills,
My
heart is sad to part with scenes like you,
Ye much loved haunts of youth, adieu, adieu.
SECOND VERSE.
Sweet Memory, how my soul
Beats at thy magic touch!
’Tis strange that thy control
Can make us bear so much;
For, while my thoughts in sadness turn to you,
My heart in silence breathes a fond adieu!
