HOME, SWEET HOME
'Mid pleasures and palaces though we
may roam,
Be it ever so humble there's no place
like home!
A charm from the sky seems to hallow
us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er
met with elsewhere.
24
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
There's no place like home!
25
An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain!
Oh, give me my lowly thatched cottage again!
The birds singing gayly that come at my call;-
Give me them, and the peace of mind dearer
than all!
