Howard Payne's Great Soma.

The song "Home Sweet Home was
written by John Howard Payne, and
was introduced by him into the play
"Clari, the Maid of Milan,' which was
later changed into opera. At the time
of the writing of this lyric, Payne was
almost starving in an attic in Palais
royal, Paris. Most authorities agree
that the music of the song is a Sicilian
air, adapted by Sir Henry RoWley.
