When winter, coming in its wrath,
Piled high the drifting snow,
Safeclnstered round the cheerful hearth.
Wewatched the freight glow;
Nor brighter seemed the rudy flames
Than did our hearts the while
Allowing mother breathed our names,
With sweet approving smile.
When wearied with our eager chase
Through many a,tangled path,
How sweet the dear accustomed place,
To talk around the hearth; I-,..aa
And still. when by our toll and care
We feel ourselves oppressed,
Our theughts forever cluster there,
And there alone find rest.
Bright promise of the rest above,
Sweet shelter from the storm,
Home hallowed by mothers love,
Hearth by that love made warm;
Though wildly roared thesto without
What rocked we of the cpld9
What place for any fear or doubt
Within the loving. foldf
And when some little trouble weighed
Upon the childish heart,
TIL from our brimming eyes it made
The gushing tear drops start,
How quick, before the genial glow,
We felt each sorrow cease,
And back the crystal current flow,
To flood our hearts with peace
And brighter with the passing years
Seems childhood's sweet employ,
And even sweeter still appears
Each we'll remembered joy.
Around the cheerful hearth at home,
Where we in childhood sat,
No other spot, where'er we roam,
