HOME IS WHERE THERE'S ONE TO LOVE US, by CHARLES SWAIN Poet's Biography First Line: Home's not merely four square walls Last Line: Where there's one we love to meet us! Subject(s): Home; Religion; Theology | ||||||||
Home's not merely four square walls, Though with pictures hung and gilded; Home is where Affection calls -- Filled with shrines the Hearth had builded! Home! Go watch the faithful dove, Sailing 'neath the heaven above us. Home is where there's one to love! Home is where there's one to love us. Home's not merely roof and room, It needs something to endear it; Home is where the heart can bloom, Where there's some kind lip to cheer it! What is home with none to meet, None to welcome, none to greet us? Home is sweet, and only sweet, Where there's one we love to meet us! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MYSTIC BOUNCE by TERRANCE HAYES MATHEMATICS CONSIDERED AS A VICE by ANTHONY HECHT UNHOLY SONNET 11 by MARK JARMAN SHINE, PERISHING REPUBLIC by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE COMING OF THE PLAGUE by WELDON KEES A LITHUANIAN ELEGY by ROBERT KELLY SMILE AND NEVER HEED ME by CHARLES SWAIN |
