Home Among the Roses
No matter how dark the world may
seem,
No matter if hearts grow cold,
know a spot that is my dream
Where the roses their leaves un-
fold.
Just a cottage that is small to view,
Half hid with its wealth OF bloom,
But some one there has heart so
And a smile to dispel life's gloom.
Oh, somewhere are mansions big and
grand,
And somewhere are moneyed kings,
But give me cot in the dear South
land,
Where the graceful rose vine
clings,
Where the honey-freighted hours are
long
And heart but gladness knows,
Where the mocking bird pours his
soul in song
In time to the swaying rose.
