Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest; <br />Home-keeping hearts are happiest, <br />For those that wander they know not where <br />Are full of trouble and full of care; <br />To stay at home is best. <br /> <br />Weary and homesick and distressed, <br />They wander east, they wander west, <br />And are baffled and beaten and blown about <br />By the winds of the wilderness of doubt; <br />To stay at home is best. <br /> <br />Then stay at home, my heart, and rest; <br />The bird is safest in its nest; <br />O'er all that flutter their wings and fly <br />A hawk is hovering in the sky; <br />To stay at home is best.<br /><br />Henry Wadsworth Longfellow<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-birds-of-passage-flight-the-fifth/
