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.
HOME, HOME,
SWEET, SWEET HOME,
BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE,
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.

AN EXILE FROM HOME
PLEASURE DAZZLES IN VAIN,
OH: GIVE ME MY LOWLY
THATCHED COTTAGE AGAIN,
THE BIRDS SINGING GAILY
THAT CAME AT MY CALL;
GIVE ME THEM, WITH THAT
PEACE OF MIND DEARER
THAN ALL.
HOME, HOME,
SWEET, SWEET HOME,
BE IT EVER SO HUMBLE,
THERE'S NO PLACE LIKE HOME
