わびしき思いに　ひとりなやむ

　　恋しやふるさと　なつかし父母

　　夢路にたどるは　故郷(さと)の家路

　　更け行く秋の夜　旅の空の

　　わびしき思いに　ひとりなやむ

２　窓うつ嵐に　夢もやぶれ

　　遥けき彼方に　こころ迷う

　　恋しやふるさと　なつかし父母(ちちはは)

　　思いに浮かぶは　杜(もり)のこずえ

　　窓うつ嵐に　夢もやぶれ

　　遥けき彼方に　心まよう

    When I played with sister and with brother,

    'Twas the sweetest joy when we did roam,
    Over hill and thro' dale with mother,

＊Chorus: )
        Dreaming of home, dear old home,
        Home of my childhood and mother;
        Oft when I wake 'tis sweet to find,
        I've been dreaming of home and mother,

2. Sleep balmy sleep, close mine eyes,
    Keep me still thinking of mother;
    Hark! 'tis her voice I seem to hear.
    Yes, I'm dreaming of home and mother.
    Angels come, soothing me to rest,
    I can feel their presence and none other;
    For they sweetly say I shall be blest;
    With bright visions of home and mother.
    (＊Chorus: )

3. Childhood has come, come again,
    Sleeping I see my dear mother;
    See her loved form beside me kneel
    While I'm dreaming of home and mother.
    Mother dear, whisper to me now,
    Tell me of my sister and my brother;
    Now I feel thy hand upon my brow,
    Yes, I'm dreaming of home and mother.
    (＊Chorus: )
