TO MAKE A HOME, To make a home you need not build An edifice of stately size With tapestries and treasures filled And turrets reachng to the skies'. The Jeweled window, gilded dome- It is not these that make a home. To make a home you 'need not wait Till fortune fills your lap with gold A simple cot, an open gate, May more of Cheer and comfort hold Than all a Caesar's castled Rome For love, not splendor, makes a home. To make a home, take some content, A little savins" year by year, Some homely-fashioned ornament,'. A keepsake christened by a tear, ' A voice to greet you In the 'gloam ' Such little matters make a home. To make a home, take simple things. A pealsant fire, an ample chair, . A picture that to memory clings, A quiet beauty ev'ry where To other towns you need not roam : To buy the things to make a home. ' . ; DOUGLAS MADT.ICC?.
