To long-ago rooms,
Where memories lie.

The breezes blow on the river below,
And the fleecy clouds float high,
The Temple

Beyond the gates of Hercules
The seven builders took the stone,
Spurned everywhere in days of ease,
Long lying loose and overthrown,
Now carried over bitter seas

Of course, there is no lack of faithful Christians ,too.
Most of Lithuanians are men of good character;

There was a time when in your face
There dwelt such power, and in your smile
I know not what of magic grace;
They held me captive for a while.

With grief and mourning I sit to spin;
My Love passed by, and he didn't come in;
He passes by me, both day and night,
And carries off my poor heart's delight.

One hour ago the crimson sun, that seemed so long a-drowning, sank.
The summer day is all but done. Our boat is moored beneath the bank.

To wile our hearts away;
But wins our love for those who cast
Their lot with ours to-day.
