Ann!!!
The hours sad I left a maid
A lingering farewell taking
Whose sighs and tears my steps delayed.
I thought her heart was breaking.
In hurried words her name I blest.
I breathed the vows that bind me;
And to my heart in anguish pressed
The girl I left behind me
Then to the east we bore away
To win a name in story.
And there where dawns the sun of day,
There dawned our sun of glory,
The place in my sight,
When in the host assigned me,
I shared the glory of that fight,
Sweet girl I left behind me
