Lyrics:
My dearest William , I have received your letters
It fills my heart with joy this news to learn
Your precious life preserved amid a thousand dangers
I pray it will be so till you return
Snow bears witness to the depth of winter
And when I speak , a breath of frost does call
Your Father took a cold ,and bides by the fireside
Our own dear son grows healthy, strong and tall
And when I sleep I don’t realise your absence
I hear your step and see your cheerful face
The wind and waves subside
And all the house is silent
The day begins and quiet you steal away.
I threw some leaves into the brook this morning
To see them sail along the silver stream
I take more notice now of things pertaining
To water’s journey toward the open sea
And when I sleep I don’t realise your absence
I hear your step and see your cheerful face
The wind and waves subside
And all the house is silent
The day begins and quiet you steal away.
The barley flourishes, the corn is very large now
Our sweet ,sweet son is handsome and he’s strong
I took your overcoat , for to give it airing
In hope Dear William , that you are homeward bound
And when I sleep I don’t realise your absence
I hear your steps and see your cheerful face
The wind and waves subside
And all the house is silent
The day begins and quiet you steal away.
The day begins and quiet you steal away.
