The ash grove, how grace ful, how plain ly ’tis speak ing, the harp through it play ing has lan guage for me.
When ev er the light through its branch es is break ing, a host of kind fac es is gaz ing on me.
The friends of my child hood a gain are be fore me, each step wakes a mem ’ry, as free ly I roam.
With soft whis pers la den, its leaves rus tle o’er me.
The ash grove, the ash grove a lone is my home.
