HOME, SWEET HOME
by: John Howard Payne (1791-1852)
- 'ID 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 splendor dazzles in vain;
- Oh, give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again!
- The birds singing gaily that came at my call;
- Give me them with the peace of mind clearer than all.
- Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home!
- There's no place like home!
- There's no place like home!
