" 'Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, theie's no place like home ; A charm fiom the sky seems to carry us there, Which, seek thiough the world, is not met with elsewhere.
Home 1 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 thatched cottage again; The birds sing gaily that came at my call— Give me them 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.
" How sweet, too, to sit 'neath a fond father's smile, And the cares of a mother to soothe and beguile, Let others dehght 'mid new pleasuies to roam, But give me, oh, give me 1 the pleasures of home !
Home 1 home ! sweet, sweet home ! There's no place like home, there's no place like home.
" To thee I'll return, overburdened with care; The heart's dearest face will smile on me there, No more from that cottage again will I roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place hke home.
Home ! home ! sweet, sweet home ! There's no place like home, there's no place like home."
The sweet sadness that pervades this simple little domestic poem is exquisitely expressive of the melancholy felt by poor Payne when he penned the lines, alone, in a foreign country (he was stranded in Paris at the time) away from all that he held dear. '
