There's a dark little nat in a poor lit
tie street
Where never IA sunbeam fails.
And eve h patter of children'S feet
IL heard in the dingy halls;
And never a fairy has entered hero
And never a playful gnome;
The rooms are cold and the walls are
bare.
And silence broods in the dampenea
air.
But somebody calls it. home.
There's a poor little hut where the
smoke is thick,
And never a blossom blows.
Where Il light that feeds on a greasy
wick
In the evening feehly glows.
And never An eye is %gladdened there
BY picture or worthy tome:
The stov is cold n the floors are
hare, q.
But a mother teaches her c:.ild a
prayer.
And somebody calls it homo.
There's a splendid palace upon a hill
Where the walls are wide and long.
Where roysterers gather at night TO
fill
The space with ribald song.
And all is brilliant and gorgeous there
From cellar 10 lofty dome:
But never a child has liSped a prayer
Within those walls with their treas

Yet somebody calls it home.
