Benson Ginsburg, age 9, Myra Jones School, Detroit, 1927. Dressed as a Chinese immigrant (replete with an incense burner) for a school pageant celebrating immigrant life and nostalgia for the home country. The children sang the song to the tune of Beethoven’s Minuet in G.
In a land that lies beyond the sea, Far away, Far away. Comes a sweet but fleeting dream to me When all else is gray. In vain do I sigh, ‘til living is o’er. I shall long for that enchanted shore Evermore, Evermore.

In a land that lies beyond the sea,
Far away, Far away.
Comes a sweet but fleeting dream to me
When all else is gray.
In vain do I sigh, ‘til living is o’er.
I shall long for that enchanted shore
Evermore, Evermore.
