Guest It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house to make it home, A heap o’ sun and shadder, an’ ye sometimes have t’ roam Afore ye really ’preciate the things ye lef’ be hind, An’ hunger fer ’em somehow, with ’em al ways on yer mind. It don’t make any difference how rich ye get t’ be, How much yer chairs an’ tables cost, how great yer luxury; It ain’t home t’ ye, though it be the palace of a king, Until somehow yer soul is sort o’ wrapped round everything. Home ain’t a place that gold can buy or get up in a minute; Afore it’s home there’s got t’ be a heap o’ livin’ in it; Within the walls there’s got to be some babies born, and then Right there ye’ve got to bring ’em up t* women good an’ men; And gradjerly, as time goes on, ye find ye wouldn’t part With anything they ever used—they’ve grown into yer heart; The old high chairs, the playthings, too, the little shoes they wore, Ye hoard; an’ if ye could ye’d keep the thumb marks on the door. I Ye’ve got t’ weep t’ make it home, ye’ve got to sit and sigh An’ watch beside a loved one’s bed, an’ know that Death is nigh; An’ in the stillness o’ the night t’ see Death’s angel come, An’ close the eyes o’ her that smiled; an’ leave her sweet voice dumb. Fer these are scenes that grip the heart, an’ when yer tears are dried, Ye find the home is dearer than it was, and sanctified; An’ tuggin’ at ye always are the pleasant memories O’ her that was an’ is no more—ye can’t es- cape from these. Ye’ve got t’ sing an’ dance fer years, ye’ve got t’ romp an play, An learn t’ love the things ye have by usin’ ’em each day; Even the roses round the porch must blossom year by year Afore they come a part o’ ye, suggestin’ some one dear Who used to love ’em long ago, an’ trained ’em jest to run The way they do, so’s they would get the early mornin’ sun; Ye’ve got t’ love each brick an stone from cellar up t’ dome; It takes a heap o’ livin’ in a house t’ make it home.
