MY HOME.

Oh YES, havo distant home, .
Where wild birds sing their pretty song,
And fowery meads and fertile Wales,
To winding streams and brooks belong
Oh yes, have a winsome home,
In sunny climes and fowery plains,
Where music from sequestered groves
Breathes fondly out Elysian strains.
Twas there my boyhoods gleesomo hours
In romping and in love were spent
Now prattling round my fathers knees,
Then OH some little mischief bept;
But then came hours, sad parting hours
A sisters kiss-a mothers tears
A fathers admonitions given,
To strengthen hopo and quell my fears.
On lifc's wild sea my trembling bark,
By adverse winds and storms are driven
Away from homo, away from home
From homo and those lovo am rivcn:
But still in solitudc's lone hour,
Fond memory speaks to mo of home.
Its vision, round my soul shall hang
Where e'er DER life's wild waste roam.
But now have another home
a fond, sweet home in loves own land,
Where fancy lives in sighs and smiles,
And reason knows not to command:
lis there my spirit loves to rest,
When sleep earth's coarser souls havo bound
And sigh and sing of love and flowers,
While star beams gild tho concave round.
This be my home, my own sweet homo,
The brightest ilse in loves deep sea,
II, fancy I shall live at homo
And know my LOVE that home is THEE.
