MAGGIE DARROW'S WELCOME Copyright I886. by Willis Woodward & Co. 
O'er the waves in the sunset light, I see White Wings afar; Haste to me ere the shades of night, My own, my guiding star. My heart's own guiding star. Oh, far away at the dawn of day, You sailed like a sea bird fair; But back to me, o'er the bounding sea, Oh, speed, my love, to shore. 
Chorus. Welcome, welcome, White wings, to me, Sailing over the bounding sea; Near my heart forever be, My darling, so fond and true. 
Longs my heart for your words so sweet, The smiles of love so dear; Oh, the joy, when at eve we meet. Your cheerful hail to hear. Your cheerful hail to hear. Tho storms may sweep o'er the billows deep, And tares may cloud each day, f But joy will come when I welcome home My love from far away. - Chorus.
