Yet how much less it were to gain,
Though thou hast left me free,
The loveliest things read more

Though thou hast left me free,
The loveliest things that still remain,
Than thus remember thee.

And many friends I've met;
Not one fair scene or read more

Oh, I have roamed o'er many lands,
And many friends I've met;
Not one fair scene or kindly smile
Can this fond heart forget.
