[Verse 1]

The ash grove how graceful, how plainly 'tis speaking

The harp through its playing has language for me

Whenever the light through its branches is breaking

A host of kind faces is gazing on me

The friends from my childhood again are before me

Each step wakes a memory as freely I roam

With soft whispers laden the leaves rustle o'er me

The ash grove, the ash grove alone is my home

[Verse 2]

Down yonder green meadow where strеamlets meander

Whеn twilight is fading I pensively rove

Or in the bright noon tide in solitude wander

Amid the dark spaces of that lonely ash grove

'Twas there while the black bird was cheerfully singing

I first met my dear one the joy of my heart

Around us for gladness the blue bells were springing

The ash grove, the ash grove that sheltered my home

[Verse 3]

My lips smile no more, my heart loses its lightness

No dream of the future my spirit can cheer

I only can brood on the past and its brightness

The dear ones I long for again gather here

From ev'ry dark nook they press forward to meet me

I lift up my eyes to the broad leafy dome

And others are there, looking downward to greet me

The ash grove, the ash grove, again is my home

[Outro]

The ash grove is my home
