O Dwellers at the back of the North Wind	A
What have we done to you How have we sinned	B
Wandering the Earth from Orkney unto Ind	B
	-
With many deaths our fellowship is thinned	B
Our flesh is withered in the parching wind	B
Wandering the earth from Orkney unto Ind	B
	-
We have no rest We cannot turn again	C
Back to the world and all her fruitless pain	D
Having once sought the land where ye remain	D
	-
Some say ye are not But ah God we know	E
That somewhere somewhere past the Northern snow	E
Waiting for us the red rose gardens blow	E
	-
The red rose and the white rose gardens blow	E
In the green Northern land to which we go	E
Surely the ways are long and the years are slow	E
	-
We have forsaken all things sweet and fair	F
We have found nothing worth a moment's care	F
Because the real flowers are blowing there	F
	-
Land of the Lotus fallen from the sun	G
Land of the Lake from whence all rivers run	G
Land where the hope of all our dreams is won	G
	-
Shall we not somewhere see at close of day	B
The green walls of that country far away	B
And hear the music of her fountains play	B
	-
So long we have been wandering all this while	H
By many a perilous sea and drifting isle	H
We scarce shall dare to look thereon and smile	H
	-
Yea when we are drawing very near to thee	I
And when at last the ivory port we see	I
Our hearts will faint with mere felicity	I
	-
But we shall wake again in gardens bright	B
Of green and gold for infinite delight	B
Sleeping beneath the solemn mountains white	B
While from the flowery copses still unseen	J
Sing out the crooning birds that ne'er have been	K
Touched by the hand of winter frore and lean	J
	-
And ever living queens that grow not old	B
And poets wise in robes of faerie gold	B
Whisper a wild sweet song that first was told	B
	-
Ere God sat down to make the Milky Way	B
And in those gardens we shall sleep and play	B
For ever and for ever and a day	B
	-
Ah Dwellers at the back of the North Wind	B
What have we done to you How have we sinned	B
That yes should hide beyond the Northern wind	B
	-
Land of the Lotus fallen from the Sun	G
When shall your hidden flowery vales be won	G
And all the travail of our way be done	G
	-
Very far we have searched we have even seen	J
The Scythian waste that bears no soft nor green	J
And near the Hideous Pass our feet have been	K
	-
We have heard Syrens singing all night long	L
Beneath the unknown stars their lonely song	L
In friendless seas beyond the Pillars strong	L
	-
Nor by the dragon daughter of Hypocras	I
Nor the vale of the Devil's head we have feared to pass	I
Yet is our labour lost and vain alas	I
	-
Scouring the earth from Orkney unto Ind	B
Tossed on the seas and withered in the wind	B
We seek and seek your land How have we sinned	B
	-
Or is it all a folly of the wise	I
Bidding us walk these ways with blinded eyes	I
While all around us real flowers arise	I
	-
But by the very God we know we know	E
That somewhere still beyond the Northern snow	E
Waiting for us the red rose gardens blow	E
