First Line: When last to home I took some flowers
Last Line: We're a little bit of home.
Subject(s): Flowers; Home; Solitude; Loneliness
When last to home I took some flowers,
They seemed so dear and gay,
Thinking that in a lonely hour
They'd pass the time away.
Dear lovely flowers that bloom so fair
When I am all alone,
They seem to be a messenger,
A little bit of home.
They seem to say we're here to stay,
To cheer your path we'll try;
Though dark and dreary be the day,
'Twill brighten bye and bye.
There's one who heeds the smallest flowers
That's with you when alone,
And some glad message we will bring,
We're a little bit of home.
