Dreaming of Home and Mother（John Pond Ordway ）

Dreaming of home ， dear old home!
Home of my childhood and mo the r;
Oft when I wake 'tis sweet to find ，
I've been dreaming of home and mother;
Home ， Dear home ， childhood happy home ，
When I played with sister and with brother ，
'Twas the sweetest joy when we did roam ，
Over hill and thro' dale with mother.
*
(Chorus)

Dreaming of home ， dear old home ，
Home of my childhood and mother;
Oft when I wake 'tis sweet to find ，
I've been dreaming of home and mother.
*

Sleep balmy sleep ， close mine eyes ，
Keep me still thinking of mother;
Hark! 'tis her voice I seem to hear.
Yes ， I'm dreaming of home and mother.
Angels come ， soothing me to rest ，
I can feel their presence and none other;
For they sweetly say I shall be blest;
With bright visions of home and mother.
*
(Chorus)

*
Childhood has come ， come again ，
Sleeping I see my dear mother;
See her loved form beside me kneel
While I'm dreaming of home and mother.
Mother dear ， whisper to me now ，
Tell me of my sister and my brother;
Now I feel thy hand upon my brow ，
Yes ， I'm dreaming of home and mother.
*

(Chorus)
