For ; thc end of the journey is drawing hear ; The hour of home coming is almost here And the moon in thc west shall fade and { wanc. Ring out ye bells and the echoes wake ; Beat time , ye hoofs , white the voices sing ; Our souls tomorrow may grief o'ertakc And tears may he falling and hearts may break , But not tonight-ring oat ye hells !
