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!
There 's no place like Home!
there 's no place like Home!
An exile from home,
splendor dazzles in vain;
O, give me my lowly thatched
cottage again!
The birds singing gayly, that came at my
call,
Give me them,�and the peace of mind, dearer than
all!
Home, Home, sweet, sweet Home!
There 's no
place like Home! there 's no place like Home!
How
sweet 't is to sit �neath a fond father's smile,
And the
cares of a mother to soothe and beguile!
Let others
delight mid new pleasures to roam,
But give me, oh, give
me, the pleasures of home!
Home! Home! sweet, sweet
Home!
There 's no place like Home! there 's no place
like Home!
To thee I 'll return, overburdened with
care;
The heart's dearest solace will smile on me there;
No more from that cottage again will I roam;
Be it
ever so humble, there 's no place like home.
Home! Home!
sweet, sweet Home!
There 's no place like Home! there 's
no place like Home! |
