No home so unwise as the teacher's That teaches only abroad; No home so accursed as the preacher's That tells only strangers of God. Ah, there's many a world's care-taker Whose house lacks neatness and grace, And there's many a merrymaker Whose home is the saddest place. And I wonder if up in heaven. Where homes are of priceless worth, Christ's "many mansions" are given To the home-neglecters of earth. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...RABBI BEN EZRA by ROBERT BROWNING FREEDOM by RALPH WALDO EMERSON THE CALL by ANNYE LEWIS ALLISON ARCHEANASSA by ASCLEPIADES OF SAMOS A DEFIANCE, RETURNING TO THE PLACE OF HIS PAST AMOURS by PHILIP AYRES |
