Description:
All of the sheet music that we list is always ALL ORIGINAL and never reproduced or photocopied!
Offered here is a vintage Civil War Era large format sheet music: "Mother Kissed Me In My Dream", "sung by Madame Anna Bishop, and founded on an incident of the Battle of Antietam {the bloodiest one day in American History}", words by George Cooper, music by J. R. Thomas, Wm. A. Pond & Co., New York, 1864. This came from a personal bound volume and therefore has the typical, but light, left edge tiny chips - it has some light dirtiness - foxing.
A young soldier who was severely wounded at the Battle of
Antietam, lay in one of the hospitals at Frederick. A Surgeon
passing by his bed side and seeing his boyish face lighted up
with a peaceful smile, asked him how he felt. “Oh! I am happy
and contented now,” the soldier replied, “Last night Mother
kissed me in my dream!”
1. Lying on my dying bed,
Thro’ the dark and silent night,
Praying for the coming day;
Came a vision to my sight;
Near me stood the forms I lov’d
In the sunlight’s mellow gleam,
Folding me unto her breast—
[REFRAIN sung after each verse]
Mother kiss’d me in my dream!
Mother, Mother,
Mother kiss’d me in my dream!
2. Comrades, tell her when you write
That I did my duty well,—
Say that when the battle rag’d
Fighting in the van I fell;
Tell her too, when on my bed,
Slowly ebb’d my being’s stream,
How I knew no peace until
3. Once again I long to see
Home and kindred far away,
But, I feel I shall be gone,
Ere there dawns another day;
Hopefully I bide the hour
When will fade life’s feeble beam,
Ev’ry pang has left me now—!
We do discount shipping costs for multiple purchases. Shipping Procedures I pride myself on quick shipping. I usually ship on Mondays and on Fridays except on holidays. Once a package is in the Postal Service hands, I loose control over it. Generally for US shipments you can expect delivery within 3 or 4 business days (or 3-9 for media rate). For non-US shipments, once the package leaves the US, even the USPS looses control over it. I can not predict transit times for these packages. They quite often are held up in customs in the receiving country. Please be patient. All payments from countries other than the U.S.A. must be made via paypal or an International Money Order in US Funds, ONLY - no exceptions.
