My Mary's voice!--It is the hour      She promised to be here:     Taught by love's mysterious power,      I know that she is near.     I hear the melody she sings      Beneath our happy dome,     And now the woodland cheerly rings      With Mary's welcome home.     My Mary's voice!--I hear it thrill      In rapture on the gale,     As she comes gliding down the hill      To meet me in the vale.     In all the world, on land or sea,      Where'er I chance to roam,     No music is so sweet to me      As Mary's welcome home.
