Come back Father! br come back Home! br see your daughter br come back home br request is long, br though words are meager, br heart is tired, br eyes are eager, br to see you again br but cannot find br a single glimpse of your face br full of grace... br O! kind and tender! br come back home... br with your image br dreams are pregnant br dreams are rich br but inadequate, br for this craving heart. br i have portraits of your figure fine br but these photos are unkind. br they don't let br your tender hands br reach my head. br so come back home... br why don't you hear br my mute cries...? br tho' these are knocking br upon the higher skies. br don't you know br that in my heart br your memory lies. br my anxious soul br and silent sighs br call you Father br come back Home... br see your daughter br come back Home...
