"When all my exams are over
And the last schoolday is done,
I shall tear up my books and papers;
"Good-bye, my classmates, everyone!"
Back to my free country.
The dusty road will not seem long
Nor twilight lonely, nor forlorn,
The everlasting road
That leads me back where I was born,
Back to my free country.
And there beside the open door,
In a peaceful reserve, green and cool
Mother's waiting smile shall hear at last,
"Mother! I have come from school.
To you dearest mother, to you." "
(from My Heart is Glad: 1964, Lillian Paul)
