Classic and Contemporary Poetry
AT HOME, by BERNARD BARTON Poet's Biography First Line: Where burns the fireside brightest Last Line: At home -- sweet home. Alternate Author Name(s): Quaker Poet Subject(s): Home | |||
WHERE burns the fireside brightest, Cheering the social breast? Where beats the fond heart lightest, Its humblest hopes possessed? Where is the hour of sadness, With meek-eyed patience borne, Worth more than those of gladness, Which mirth's gay cheeks adorn? Pleasure is marked by fleetness, To those who ever roam; While grief itself has sweetness At home -- sweet home. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EL FLORIDA ROOM by RICHARD BLANCO DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN TO THIS HOUSE by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE UPSTAIRS ROOM by WELDON KEES HOME IS SO SAD by PHILIP LARKIN DUTCH INTERIOR by DAVID LEHMAN BRUCE AND THE SPIDER by BERNARD BARTON |
