14. When shall we meet again

1 When shall we meet again,
Meet ne'er to sever?
When will peace wreath her chain
Round us for ever?
Our hearts will ne'er repose,
Safe from each blast that blows,
In this dark vale of woes,
Never no, never.

2 When shall love freely flow
Pure as life's river!
When shall sweet friendship glow,
Changeless forever?
Where joys celestial thrill,
Where bliss each heart shall fill,
And fears of parting chill,
Never, no, never.

3 There shall we meet again,
Meet ne'er to sever,
And peace will wreath her chain
Round us for ever;
Where kindred hearts repose,
Freed from all worldly woes,
And songs of joy shall close,
Never, no, never.
