Leave her to men | Leave her to men | ||
That love her less; | That love her less; | ||
Thy love too great | Thy love too great | ||
For bitterness. | For bitterness. | ||
When such fine souls | When such fine souls | ||
I see depart, | I see depart, | ||
A patriot's love | A patriot's love | ||
Must leave my heart. | Must leave my heart. | ||

| The Emigrant written by William Henry Davies |
| From "The Bird of Paradise", 1914 | Link to further information |
YOUTH has no ties,
So let him roam;
Where'er he goes,
Young blood's at home.
But you, with wife
And children three,
Must leave England,
And cross the sea.
Leave her to men
That love her less;
Thy love too great
For bitterness.
When such fine souls
I see depart,
A patriot's love
Must leave my heart.
