many years after the original poem of
Home, Sweet Home" was written.
1t was given to an American lady whom
the poet met in a foreign country:
Your life has been blest with all Fate can be-
stow,
While mine has been checkered with many a

Though different our fortunes, our hearts are
the same,
And both, as we think of Columbia, exclaim:
Home, home, sweet, sweet home,
Be it ever SO humble, there's no place like
home.
