THE WELCOME BACK.

Sweet is the hoar that brings US home;
Where all will spring to meet US;
Where hands are striving as we come;
To be the first that greet us.
When the world hath spent its frowns and wrat
And care been sorely pressing,
'Tis sweet to turn from our rowing path,
And find fireside blessing.
Oh, ioyfully dear is the homeward track,
II we are but sure Of welcome back.
What do we reok on dreary way,
Though lonely and benighted,
II we know there are lips to chide our stay,
And eyes that will beam loye-lighted?
What is the worth of diamond ray,
TO the glance that flashes pleasure;
When the words that welcome back betray;
We form hearts chief treasure
Oh, joyfully dear is our bomeward track,
If we are but sure of welcome back.
