1. <br /> <br />My home, my home, my cottage home, <br />Thou fair and lovely spot, <br />How sad and lonely is my soul, <br />When I can view thee not; <br />The vines may blossom in my path, <br />And flowers I most adore, <br />But what are all their charm to me, <br />If not beside my door. <br /> <br />2. <br /> <br />Home is a name ne'er forget, <br />Like other names of earth; <br />We never grow old to love <br />The spot that gave us birth; <br />And when in dreams of faded years; <br />Of all our youthful pride, <br />How sweet to dwell beneath the roof, <br />Where our dear parents died. <br /> <br />3. <br /> <br />My home, my home, my cottage home, <br />I'll love thee evermore, <br />And evry heart that greets me when <br />I reach thy humble door; <br />And though my mother's smile be gone; <br />My mother's watchful care, <br />I love to dwell beneath the roof, <br />For home was always there.<br /><br />Septimus Winner<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-cottage-home/
