Home Defined

Home's not merely four-square wall’s, Though with pictures hung and gilded: Home is where affection calls, Filled with shrines the heart hath builded! Home! Go watch the faithful dove, Sailing ‘neath the heaven about us; Home is where there is one to leave! Home is where there is one to love us! Home's not merely roof and room, It needs something to endear it; Home is where the heart can bloom, Where there’s kind lip to cheer it! What is home with none to great us? Home is sweet, -and only sweet- When there is one, we love to meet us!
