THE DREAM OF HOME.


Who has not felt how sadly sweet
The dream of home, the dream CT home
Steals Ger the heart. too soon, too feet,
When far DER sea or land we roam
Sunigh. more soft may DER US fall,
To greener shores our bark may come,
But far more bright, more dear than all,
That dream of home, that dream of home
Ask Of the sailor youth when far
His light bark bounds o'ei oceans foam,
What charms him most, when even; ngs star
Smiles Ger the wave2 To dream of home
Fond thoughts of absent friends. and loves,
At that sweet hour around him come
His hearts best joy whereer he roves,
Tha, dream of home, that dream of home.
