English text

A home, a home on the rushing sea,
Where the waves are wild
And the winds are free;
Where the dashing spray is tossed in glee,
And the foam is light as foam can be.

A home, a home, a home by the rushing sea,
A home, a home, a home by the rushing sea.

There bright at eve is each kindling star,
Where the vesper’s sweet Echo from afar;
Where the ocean murmurs lie and dream,
In the depths where sleep the pearl’s bright gleam.

from:
Moore’s Rural New-Yorker
March 29, 1862
