Domestic
There is a sacred spot on earth,
Which antedates our Joys above;
Tis where we sit when toll Is o'er.
With those we love.
Oft, In my waking dreams, I sit,
With the dear darlings of my life.
And gaze upon those treasured gems
My child and wife!
The fleeting pleasures of the world.
Like darkening shadows fade away.
And gives us glimpses of the bliss
Which scornt decay.
Oh, wedded lore! God's dearest gift
To render all his creatures blest,
TIs only, neath its smile we taste
A perfect rest.
