I AM LONELY TO-NIGHT, Words and Music by G. W. II. .Gkiffin. Sung by J. La Most.
I am lonely to-night in my sad little chamber,
"While the stars sweetly shine upon all I hold dear;
They have gone from their home with a bold, fearless ranger— There's a void in my heart, for they are not here.
Oh, why d'id they leave me, alone and deserted, To risk their dear lives on the blood-sprinkled plain? |
