| dbp:text | There's a spot that I love that I ne'er can forget, Tho' far I may roam 'twill be dear. For its beauty will linger in memory yet, Where'er o'er the world I may steer. Dear Jersey, fair Isle, of the ocean the queen, Thy charms are so many and rare; For love finds a home 'mid each beauteous scene, My heart ever longs to be there. Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea, Ever my heart turns in longing to thee; Bright are the mem'ries you waken for me, Beautiful Jersey, gem of the sea. On thy shores I have wandered in glad days of yore, With one who is dear to my heart. And the love-links will bind us as one evermore, Although for a while we must part. And oft in my dreams do I see the dear place The dear little Isle of the sea, And in fancy I gaze on a sweet loving face, The face that is dearest to me. (en) |
