HOME! SWEET HOME.

‘Mid pleasures and palaces tho’ we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there’s no place like home;
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek thro’ 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, splendour dazzles in vain,
Oh! give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again,
The birds singing gaily, they came at my call
Give me them with the peace of mind dearer than all.

Home, home! sweet, sweet home,
There’s no place like home! there’s no place like home.
