Oh, there's power to make each hour
As sweet as heaven designed it;
Nor need we roam to bring it home,
Though few there be that find it.
We seek too high for things close by;
And lose what nature found US;
For life has here no charms dear
AS home and friends around US.
We oft destroy the present Joy
For future hopes, and praise them,
While flowers as sweet bloom at our feet,
II we'd but stoop to false them;
For things afar still sweeter are,
When youths bright spell has bound US
But soon we're taught that earth has naught
Like home and friends around US.
The friends that speed in time of need,
When hopes last reed is shaken,
To show you still that come what will,
You are no. quite forsaken;
Thoagh all we're night, if but the light
From friendships altar crowned US,
'Twould prove the bliss of earth were this
Our home and friends around US.
