HOME, SWEET HOME.

Oh, Home! It Is a sacred place
Or was in olden days,
Before the people learned to chase
To moving picture plays.
To tango dances. and such things,
To skating on a floor;
And now the youthful laughter rings
Within the Home no more.
You will recall. old men and danes,
The homes of long ago;
And you'll recall the fireside games,
The children used to know.
The neighbours kids would come along,
With your own kids to play;
The evening pass away.
An evening spent away from home,
In 0lden days was rare:
The children hadn't learned to roam
For pleasure everywhere.
But now your house is but a shell,
Where children sleep and eat
1t serves that purpose very we'll,
Their home is on the street
They roam where the lights are bright
Where rag-time music flows;
Their moons the middle of the night,
Their friends are-LOrd, who knows7
The windows OF your home are dark.
And silence broods o's= ALL
You call 1t Home-God save the mark!
'Tis but sty or stall.
