THE LIGHT AT HOME.


The light at home! how bright it beams
When venturng shades around US fall;
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,
To love, and rest and comfort call.
When wearied with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name
Around the light at home.
When through the dark and stormy night,
The wayward wanderer homeward hies;
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which through the forest gloom he SPIES
It is the light at home; he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The JOY and love that Danish care
Around the light at home.
The light. at home! whene'er at last
1t ercets the seaman through 'he storm;
He feels no more the chilling. blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fled,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss,
But the tears which then she shed
Will now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around the light at homo.
The light at home, how still and sweet
1t peeps from yonder cottage door
The weary laborer to greet
When the rough tolls Of day are Ger.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impars,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow,
And tighten up the heavies, heart
Around the light at home.
