Home.
Homes not merely four square walls.
Though with pictures hung and gilded;
Home is where affection calls
Filled with shrines the heart hath builded.
Home!-go. watch the faithful dove,
Sailing meath the heaven above us:
Home is where there's one to love,
Home is where there's one to love us.
Homes not merely roof and room.
Needs 1t something to endear it;
Home Is where the heart can bloom:
Where there's some kind one to cheer it.
nat Is nome with none to meet
None to welcome-none to greet as?
Home is sweet and only sweet
Where there's one we love to meet u.s.
