Poems (Bradford)/My heart's in the northland
MY HEART' IN THE NORTHLAND!
My heart's in the Northland, my heart's far away! My heart's in the Northland by night and by day; No matter how lonely, no matter how drear,My heart's in the Northland, my heart is not here.
I love its deep ravines, I love its high hills, With love for the Northland my heart ever thrills; Wherever I wander, wherever I go,My heart's with the Northland, its ice and its snow.
Farewell to the Northland, Fate calls me afar; The doorway to fortune seems standing ajar; But whatever the lessons in life I may learn, My heart to the Northland shall ever return.
