Oh, give me back my pearl-lit home,

Beneath the billowy main—

And let the wearied exile roam

Her own green halls again!

Oh, let me leave this smiling shore,

For my own shadowy caves once more.

SUSQUEHANNA.

Softly the blended light of evening rests

Upon thee, lovely stream! Thy gentle tide,

Picturing the gorgeous beauty of the sky,
