      "Though bleak these woods, and damp the ground",
      "With fallen leaves so thickly strown,",
      "And cold the wind that wanders round",
      "With wild and melancholy moan;",
      "There is a friendly roof, I know,",
      "Might shield me from the wintry blast;",
      "There is a fire, whose ruddy glow",
      "Will cheer me for my wanderings past.",
      "",
      "And so, though still, where'er I go,",
      "Cold stranger-glances meet my eye;",
      "Though, when my spirit sinks in woe,",
      "Unheeded swells the unbidden sigh;",
      "",
      "Though solitude, endured too long,",
      "Bids youthful joys too soon decay,",
      "Makes mirth a stranger to my tongue,",
      "And overclouds my noon of day;",
      "",
      "When kindly thoughts, that would have way,",
      "Flow back discouraged to my breast; --",
      "I know there is, though far away,",
      "A home where heart and soul may rest.",
      "",
      "Warm hands are there, that, clasped in mine,",
      "The warmer heart will not belie;",
      "While mirth, and truth, and friendship shine",
      "In smiling lip and earnest eye.",
      "",
      "The ice that gathers round my heart",
      "May there be thawed; and sweetly, then,",
      "The joys of youth, that now depart,",
      "Will come to cheer my soul again.",
      "",
      "Though far I roam, that thought shall be",
      "My hope, my comfort, everywhere;",
      "While such a home remains to me,",
      "My heart shall never know despair!"
