The greatest words are always solitaires, / Set singly in one syllable; like birth, / Life, love, hope, peace. I sing the worth / Of that dear word toward which the whole world fares- / I sing of home.
To make a home, we should take all of love / And much of labour, patience, and keen joy; / Then mix the elements of earth's alloy / With finer things drawn from the realms above, / The spirit home.
