Lyrics or Keywords
In the villabe children singing
While the vesper bells are ringing
On the hilltop lambkins crying
Homeward bound as day is dying
How I long to go back to my village home
Down the valley o'er the mountain I would roam
There is where I left my heart so long ago
When I was young, too young I know
Evening in the village falling.
In the hills the shepherds calling
Vesper bells no more resounding
Yet there echos keep rebounding
Wish I could go home again
To the cottage in the glen
Underneath the apple tree
There is where my lonely heart would ever be
