Rhyme Scheme: ABCC DDEE FGHH IIJJ| Come back to me little dancing feet that roam the wide world o'er | A |
| I long for the lilt of your flying steps in my silent rooms once more | B |
| Come back to me little voices gay with laughter and with song | C |
| Come back little hearts beating high with hopes I have missed and mourned you long | C |
| - | |
| My roses bloom in my garden walks all sweet and wet with the dew | D |
| My lights shine down on the long hill road the waning twilights through | D |
| The swallows flutter about my eaves as in the years of old | E |
| And close about me their steadfast arms the lisping pine trees fold | E |
| - | |
| But I weary for you at morn and eve O children of my love | F |
| Come back to me from your pilgrim ways from the seas and plains ye rove | G |
| Come over the meadows and up the lane to my door set open wide | H |
| And sit ye down where the red light shines from my welcoming fireside | H |
| - | |
| I keep for you all your childhood dreams your gladness and delights | I |
| The joy of days in the sun and rain the sleep of carefree nights | I |
| All the sweet faiths ye have lost and sought again shall be your own | J |
| Darlings come to my empty heart I am old and still and alone | J |
