 through the street, Wherever runs the home road tho heart

 The home road to honey,
 The laughter and the song
 Away from mills and money
 And the suuabble of the throng. Swinging up an alley or speeding on
 car,
 Wherever runs the home roao the pest dreams are.
 The home road to music [ or the old, sweet things.
 The mother and the babies
 And the company of kings. ] Winding through the brambles or rum ming by stream. ! Wherever runs the homo road tho best ! blooms dream J The home road to comfort And peace and to rest,
 The little arms that necklace
 And the roses of a breast. The old road. the home road. the dear

 The home road to supper And a story and to bed,
 With blue eyes on pillow
