HOMESICK, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Tis sweet to him, who all the week
Last Line: Before the door of his own home?
Subject(s): Homesickness


'Tis sweet to him, who all the week
Through city-crowds must push his way,
To stroll alone through fields and woods,
And hallow thus the Sabbath-day.
And sweet it is, in summer bower,
Sincere, affectionate and gay,
One's own dear children feasting round,
To celebrate one's marriage-day.
But what is all to his delight,
Who having long been doomed to roam,
Throws off the bundle from his back,
Before the door of his own home?
