HOME, SWEET HOME !-A SONG.
'Mid 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 thro' the world is not 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--
Where the birds sing gaily, that came at my call;
Give me these, 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.
'Mid 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 thro' the world is not 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--
Where the birds sing gaily, that came at my call;
Give me these, 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.
