Charles Ives - I Travelled Among Unknown Men lyrics
[Charles Ives - I Travelled Among Unknown Men lyrics]
I travelled among unknown men
In lands beyond the sea
Nor England! did I know till then
What love I bore to thee
'Tis past, that melancholy dream!
Nor will I quit thy shore
A second time, for still I seem
To love thee more and more
Among thy mountains did I feel
The joy of my desire
And she I cherished turned the wheel
Beside an English fire
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed
The bowers where Lucy played
And thine is too the last green field
That Lucy's eyes surveyеd
In lands beyond the sea
Nor England! did I know till then
What love I bore to thee
'Tis past, that melancholy dream!
Nor will I quit thy shore
A second time, for still I seem
To love thee more and more
Among thy mountains did I feel
The joy of my desire
And she I cherished turned the wheel
Beside an English fire
Thy mornings showed, thy nights concealed
The bowers where Lucy played
And thine is too the last green field
That Lucy's eyes surveyеd
