A Home Song

I read within a poet’s book  A word that starred the page:“Stone walls do not a prison make,  Nor iron bars a cage!”

Yes, that is true, and something more:  You’ll find, where’er you roam,That marble floors and gilded walls  Can never make a home.

But every house where Love abides,  And Friendship is a guest,Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:  For there the heart can rest.
