Lyics

Haste, trav'ler, haste! the night comes on,
And many a shining hour is gone;
The storm is gath'ring in the west,
And thou art far from home and rest.


Awake, awake! pursue thy way
With steady course, while yet 't is day;
While thou art sleeping on the ground,
Danger and darkness gather round.


There is a region lovelier far 
Than sages tell, or poets sing
Brighter than summer's beauties are,
And softer than the tints of spring.


[Chorus] I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more;
I'm going home, I'm going home,
I'm going home to die no more.
