Green fields of England! wheresoe’er Across this watery waste we fare, Your image at our hearts we bear Green fields of England, everywhere. Sweet eyes in England, I must flee Past where the waves’ last confines be, Ere your loved smile I cease to see, Sweet eyes in England, dear to me. Dear home in England, safe and fast If but in thee my lot lie cast, The past shall seem a nothing past To thee, dear home, if won at last; Dear home in England, won at last.
