Come, my beloved one, come, follow me home Come when it's time, your days here are done
I am the shepherd, I gather my own Leave fear and hunger, and follow
Come, O my forest ones, come, follow me home Chipmunk and owl, raccoon and jay
Come from the cool shadows, hid from the day Leave your deep forest, and follow
Come, O my meadow ones, come, follow me home Woodchuck and mole, gastrel and quail
Come from your burrows, your grass-winding trails Leave your bright meadow, and follow
Follow me down the wide world Follow me home, my children
And O my river ones, come, follow me home Muskrat and loon, otter and crane
Come from the high banks, the reeds in the rain Leave your brown river, and follow
And O my mountain ones, come, follow me home Big horn and bear, cougar and hawk
Come from the timberline, windy grey rock Leave your wild mountain, and follow
Follow me down the wide world Follow me home, my children
And O my ocean ones, come, follow me home Petrel and seal, curlew and whale
Come from the combers, in calm and in gale Leave your grey ocean, and follow
And O my friends of man, come, follow me home Lovebird and cat, plowhorse and hound
Come from your fireside, in farmstead and town Leave your bright homestead, and follow
Follow me down the wide world Follow me home, my children
Come when you hear the call, come, follow me home
Come from the hill, the valley, the sea Hunters and hunted ones, gather to me
Leave all you know, and follow
Follow me down the wide world Follow me home, my children
Follow me down the wide world Follow me home, my children
Follow me down the wide world
