Subject(s): Home


AS up and down the world I go,
All ancient do the places show;
The gardens full of honey bees,
The roofs, the high and windy trees.
April begins. The half-grown pear,
Out in the lane buds white and fair;
Long since -- for I can see it plain --
It blossomed in just such a lane.
This tender light upon the glass,
Long since I saw across the grass,
Perhaps in Rouen, perhaps in Rome;
Where'er -- I know that it was home.
