HOME IS WHERE THERE'S ONE TO LOVE US. 1

Home's not merely four square walls,
Though with pictures hung and gilded ;
Home is where affection calls,
Filled with shrines the heart bath builded !
Home I—go watch the faithful dove
Sailing 'neath the heaven above us—
Home is where there's one to love !
Home is where there's one to love us I

Home's not merely roof and room,—
It needs something to endear it ;
Home is where the heart can bloom,
Where there's some kind lip to cheer it
What is home with none to meet ?
None to welcome, none to greet us ?
Home is sweet. and only sweet,
Where there's one we love to meet us !
