Dream voices

H. Pontet

I dream, alone, in the twilight,

Watching the shadows play,

A teardrop falls

As my heart recalls

Dear ones long passed away.

When, over the hush of twilight,

Over the wind's low sigh,

Sweet and clear

A song I hear,

Voices from years gone by!

Hearts that have loved can ne'er be parted,

Fear not thy dear ones can forget;

Still we are near thee, tender-hearted,

Through joy and sorrow, loving yet!

The darkness of night has fallen,

I list for the song in vain;

It passed away

With the dying day,

But the light and the joy remain;

For in my heart is a singing,

Tender and sweet and low,

A song of love

From the land above,

Voices I used to know:

Hearts that have loved

etc.
