HOME, by NELLIE WOMACK HINES First Line: Home! / my very heart's desire is safe Last Line: Dear home. Subject(s): Home | ||||||||
Home! My very heart's desire is safe Within thy walls; The voices of my loved ones, friends who come, My treasured books that rest in niche serene, All make more dear to me thy haven sweet. Nor do my feet Desire to wander out except that they May have the glad return at eventide -- Dear Home. Home! My very heart's contentment lies Within thy walls. No worldly calls hath power to turn my eyes In longing from thy quietness. Each morn When I go forth upon the duties of the day I wend my way Content to know that eve will bring me Safely to thy walls again.
