HER BRIGHT SMILE HAUNTS ME STILL. Poetry by J.E. Carpenter Music by W.T. Wrighton, Author of "THE DEAREST SPOT ON EARTH TO ME IS HOME."
Tis years since last we met, And we may not meet again; I have struggled to forget, But the
4
struggle was in vain; For her voice lives on the breeze, And her spirit comes at will; In the midnight on the seas, Her bright smile haunts me stlll. For her voice lives on the breeze, And her spirit comes at will; In the midnight, on the
5
seas. Her bright smile haunts me still.
2. At the first sweet dawn of light, When I gaze upon the deep, Her form still greets my sight, While the stars the vigils keep: When I close mine aching eyes, Sweet dreams my senses fill; And from sleep when I arise, Her bright smile haunts me still. When I close mine aching eyes, Sweet dreams my senses fill and from sleep when I arise, Her bright smile haunts me still.
3. I have sail'd 'neath alien skies, I have trod the desert path, I have seen the storm arise, Like a giant in his wrath; Every danger I have known, That a reckless life can fill; Yet her presence is now flown, Her bright smile haunts me still. Every danger I have known, That a reckless life can fill; Yet her presence is not flown, Her bright smile haunts me still.

DO THEY THINK OF ME AT HOME.
Words by J.E. Carpenter. Music by C.W. Clover
Moderato.
1. Do they
2. Do they
3. Do they
think of me at home, Do they every think of me? I who
think of me at eve? Of the songs I used to sing? Is the
think of how I loved In my happy early days? Do they
4
shared their ev'ry grief, I who mingled in their
harp I struck untouch'd, Does a stranger wake the
think of him who came, But could never win their
glee; Have their hearts grown cold and strange To the
string? Will no kind forgiving word Came across
praise? I am happy by his side, And from
one now doomed to roam, I would give the world to
the raging foam? Shall I never cease to
mind he'll never roam, But my heart will sadly
5
know, Do they think of me at home? I would
sign "Do they think of me at home?" Shall I
ask, "Do they think of me at home?" But my
give the world to know, Do they think of me at home?
never cease to sigh, "Do they think of me at home?"
heart will sadly ask, "Do they think of me at home?"
