Home
The little house upon the hill
Gleams through the greyness of the night,
It's simple round of work is still
And hushed are all its sounds of life
Asleep it seems.
But for a yellow light that beams.
A very little home - so small
Against the vastness of the sky,
Holding within its narrow wall
The mightiness of love and life,
Its tenderness,
Of kindly thought and dear caress.
