THE LIGHT AT HOME.

The light at home how bright it beams,
When evening shadows round 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 list our name
Around the light at home
When through the dark and stormy night
The hayward wanderer homeward hies,
How cheering is that twinkling light,
Which throught the forest gloom he spies
1t is the light at home he feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And safely through his bosom steals
The Joy and love that Danish care
Around the light at home.
The light at home when ere at last
1t greets the seaman through the storm,
Hc feels no more the chilling blast
That beats upon his manly form.
Long years upon the sea have fed,
Since Mary gave her parting kiss,
But the sad tears which she then shed
viii now be paid with rapturous bliss,
Around the light at home.
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 o'er.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that flow
And tighten up the heaviest heart
Around the light at home.
