[00:13.951]When this dreadful war is ended
[00:17.859]I will come again to you
[00:21.244]Tell me dearest ere we sever
[00:24.636]Tell me, tell me you'll be true
[00:28.264]Though to other scenes I wander
[00:31.634]Still your memory pure and bright
[00:34.981]In my heart will ever linger
[00:38.414]Shining with undying light
[00:41.814]Do not weep love, sit beside me
[00:45.451]Whisper gentle words of cheer
[00:48.829]Be not mournful now my darling
[00:52.207]Let me kiss away each tear
[00:57.144]
[01:07.259](Verse 2)
[01:09.334]On the gory field of battle
[01:12.973]Your sweet voice will nerve my hand
[01:16.331]And when weary, sad, or wounded
[01:19.727]Your fair image near me stand
[01:23.391]In my visions, like some angel
[01:26.546]You will turn my grief to bliss
[01:30.196]On my pale and fevered forehead
[01:33.324]I will often feel your kiss
[01:36.664]Our dear native land's in danger
[01:40.306]And we'll calmly bide the time
[01:43.456]Till this dreadful war is over
[01:46.605]And the bells of peace shall chime
[01:51.206]
[01:54.310]
[01:56.654]
[01:59.554](Verse 3)
[02:03.204]When this dreadful war is ended
[02:06.340]Soon I hope the day will come
[02:09.699]Love's own star will lead my footsteps
[02:12.845]Safely back to you and home
[02:16.240]Oh, what joy again to meet you
[02:19.033]When the threat'ning storm is past
[02:22.433]And the flag our foes have planted
[02:25.979]Flies in shreds upon the blast
[02:28.613]Farewell, farewell! best and dearest
[02:32.261]Do not let your heart repine
[02:35.631]Though the sky may now look gloomy
[02:38.485]Soon the sun will brightly shine
