1.
- Do they think of me at home,
- Do they ever think of me?
- I who shared their ev'ry grief,
- I who mingled in their glee?
- Have their hearts grown cold and strange,
- To the one now doom'd to roam?
- I would give the world to know
- Do they think of me at home?
2.
- Do they think of me at eve,
- Of the song I used to sing?
- Is the harp I struck untouch'd,
- Does a stranger wake the string?
- Will no kind forgiving word,
- Come across the raging foam?
- Shall I never cease to sigh
- "Do they think of me at home?"
3.
- Do they think of how I loved,
- In my happy, early days?
- Do they think of him who came,
- But could never win theur praise?
- I am happy by his side,
- And from mine he'll never roam.
- But my heart will sadly ask,
- "Do they think of me at home?"
