The dearest place OF all,

Heavens benedictions there around

For mothers always waiting at the

With words OF consolation and Of

And if you search the wide world DER

You'll find no friend like mother
none so dear
She helps you bear your burdens all
the way,
She soothes you when in sorrow or
in pain;
She makes the crooked paths grow
bright and straight
And bring the sunlight to your IRE
again.
And so no matter where on earth
YOU roam,
Amid the greatest glory earth can
give,
You'll never find the peace, the rest
the love
That mother dear and home, sweet
home. can give.
I've crossed the seas and gazed upon
fho works
The greatest artists Of the world
produce
1've sought for rest for fame for
happiness.
But after all I found it was no use
sousht for it at fashions gay levee
thought the dance and music
would me cheer,
But after All twas ashes on my lips
My heart would long for home anC
