Dreaming of home, dear old home, Home of my childhood and mother— Oft when I wake ‘tis sweet to find I’ve been dreaming of home and mother. Home, dear home, childhood’s happy home! When I played with sister and with brother ‘Twas the sweetest joy when we did roam Over hill and through dale with mother! CHORUS. 2. Dreaming of home, dear old home, Home of my childhood and mother— Oft when I wake ’tis sweet to find I’ve been dreaming of home and mother Sleep, balmy sleep, close mine eyes, Keep me still thinking of mother— Hark! ’Tis her voice I seem to hear— Yes, I’m dreaming of home and mother. Angels come soothing me to rest, I can feel their presence as none other, For they sweetly say I shall be blest With bright visions of home and mother. —Chorus. 3. Childhood has come, come again, Sleeping I see my dear mother— See her loved form beside me kneel While I’m dreaming of home and mother. Mother dear, whisper to me now, Tell me of my sister and my brother— Now I feel thy hand upon my brow— Yes, I’, dreaming of home and mother. —Chorus. ************** John P. Ordway From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia John Pond Ordway (born Salem, Massachusetts, 1824, died April 1880, Boston, Massachusetts, was a doctor, composer, music entrepreneur, and politician. Graduating from Harvard Medical College in 1859, Ordway was one of the first surgeons to volunteer at the start of the Civil War, serving in the 6th Regiment, Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry. He was one of the Union surgeons sent to tend to the wounded after the Battle of Getty*****urg. Ordway was an owner of a music store in Boston, a music publisher, and a composer. His song Twinkling Stars are Laughing, Love (1855) was recorded by the Hayden Quartet as late as 1902 and 1904. Dreaming of Home and Mother (1851) was a popular sentimental song of the Civil War era, and continues to be played; it is popular in China and Japan in translated versions. Around 1845 he organized Ordway's Aeolians, a blackface minstrel troupe which performed at Ordway Hall in Boston and also nationally to promote Ordway's publishing business. Future bandleader/composer Patrick Gilmore worked in Ordway's store and also appeared with the Aeolians. A number of 19th century songs were written for the Aeolians and/or dedicated to Ordway, including Jingle Bells. ******************* 二胡: 旅愁 Dreaming of Home and Mother 作曲：J.P.
