NOSTALGIA
To come. back from the sweet South, to the North Where | was born, bred, look to die; , Come back to do my day’s work in its day, Play out my playAmen, amen; say I. To see no more the country half my own. Nor hear the _ half-familiar speech, Amen, | say; | turn to that bleak North Where I came forthThe South lies out of reach. But when our swallows fly back to the South, To the sweet South, to the sweet South, ‘ The tears may come again into my eyes On the old wise, And the sweet name to my mouth.
