POETRY.
WHERE IS HOME :

w
,T;s home where'er the heart -,
Wbere'er IT'S loved ones dwell,
In cities or in co lages,
Thrunged haunts or mossy oeii
The hearts Il rover ever,
And thus on wave and wiio,
The maiden with her lover walks,
The mother with her child.
IT is bright whcre'er The heart is:
LIS fairy spells can bring
Fresh fountains 10 the wilderness,
And 10 The desert spring.
There are green isles in each ocean,
Der which affection glides;
And haven on each shore,
Where Loves the star that guides.
IT is free where'er the heart is;
Nor chaius. nor dungeon dim,
Nav check The minds aspiring,
The spiri.'s healing hymn
The heart gives life its beauty,
It's glory and its power
II is sunlight 10 itsIippling stream
And soft dew TO its flower.
