Home is where the heart is,
And friendship is a guest;
A book, a fire, a handclasp,
A place where souls can rest.

Home is where the heart is,
Where children's voices ring;
A blossom at the window,
A tiny bird to sing.

Home is where the heart is,
Be it mansion on the hill,
Or cabin in the valley,
Or cottage by the rill.

Home is where the heart is,
Where friendship is a guest,
Where love and faith and gentleness
Can soothe a heart to rest.
