The Soldier's Farewell to Waimate |
Scope & Content |
Sheet Music - The Soldier's Farewell to Waimate Words by George Dash Music by Thomas Rive Cometh strength from out thy mountains. Skies give promise overhead. But my eyes would be twin fountains. With the tears I will not shed. For Waimate I am leaving. And though gladly I would stay. I must rid my heart of grieving Duty calls me far away Eastward lies the blue of ocean. Guards thy west the Hunter Range. O'er whose slopes in constant motion Ever light and shadow change. Memory will keep a near to me. Pictures of your gardens gay. Their bright beauty ever cheer me. While in strange far lands I stray. Oh the sweet charm of thy setting. Glimpse of Heaven to me seems. I shall never be forgetting. Thou art Home in all my dreams Though I answer calls of duty. Though across the world I go. I draw back by thy beauty. Thou best little town I know. |
