Why, ah! why my heart this sadness?

Hymnal: Juvenile Choir #76 (1840) Lyrics: 1 Why, ah! why my heart this sadness? Why 'mid scenes like these decline? Where all though strange, in joy and sadness, Say, what wish can yet be thine! Oh say what wish can yet be thine? 2 All that's dear to me is wanting, Lone and cheerless here I roam; The stranger's joys howe'er enchanting, To me can never be like Home. To me can never be like Home. 3 Give me those, I ask no other, Those that bless the humble dome Where dwell my Father and my Mother, Give, oh! give me back my Home, My own, my own dear native Home. Languages: English Tune Title: [Why, ah! why my heart this sadness?]

Hymnal: The Little Minstrel #107 (1867) First Line: Why, ah! why, my heart, this sadness? Lyrics: 1 Why, ah! why, my heart, this sadness? Why, 'mid scenes like these decline? Where all, tho' strange, is joy and gladness, O, say, what wish can yet be thine, O, say, what wish can yet be thine? 2 All that's dear to me is wanting; Lone and cheerless here I roam, For strangers' joys, howe'er enchanting, Can never be to me like home, Can never be to me like home. 3 Give me those I ask no other; Those that bless the humble dome, Where dwell my father and my mother, O, give me back my native home, O, give me back my native home.
