## The words

When the swallows homeward fly And the roses’  
bloom is o’er, And the nightingale’s sweet  
song In the woods is heard no more,  
Then I think with bitter pain, Shall we ever  
meet again? When the swallows homeward fly  
And the roses’ bloom is o’er  
When the swans fly towards the south Where the  
golden lemons grow, And the sun sinks in the  
west, And the hills are all aglow!  
Then my heart goes out to you, And forgetting  
all the pain, Hope once more within me whispers  
“You will surely meet again!”
