- 1When shall we all meet again?
- When shall we all meet again?
- Oft shall glowing hope expire;
- Oft shall wearied love retire,
- Oft shall death and sorrow reign,
- Ere we all shall meet again.
- 2Though on foreign shore we sigh,
- Far remote our native sky,
- Though the deep between us roll,
- Hope shall anchor there our soul,
- And in faith's well-known domain,
- Within the veil, we'll meet again.
- 3When the dreams of life are fled,
- When its wasted lamps are dead,
- When in cold oblivion's shade,
- Beauty, wealth, and fame are laid,
- Where immortal spirits reign,
- Thither soar, to meet again!
