Upon the stony street
There is a Rhythmic beat
Of swiftly moving feet;
For night has come
And lights of home
Like friendly signals burn.
Toward these, the gladdest turn; :;
For these the saddest yearn.
While far from friends they
roam.
Ger fragrant clover plains,
Down dewy country lanes
The glowing window panes
Send cheerful beam,
And ruddy CLEANS.
These home-lights, shining far,
Each like a guiding star;
The goal and object are
OF many wistful dreams.
The day is done; and I
Look toward the asure sky
Where stars like beacons high
Serenely shine,
0 heart of mine,
The one who placed those lights
To cheer thine earthly nights,
With constant love invites
Thee to home divine.
