HOME! SWEET HOME!

’Midst pleasures and palaces though 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 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, splendour dazzles in vain;
Oh! give me my lowly thatch’d cottage again;
With the birds singing gaily, that came at my call;
Give me them, with my peace of mind, dearer than all.
Home, home, &c.
