How could we stray like this?- So far from home, we know not where it is,- Only in some fair, apple-blossomy place Of children's faces-and the mother's face- We dimly dream it, till the vision clears Even in the eyes of fancy, glad with tears.We must get home-for we have been away So long, it seems forever and a day!And O so very homesick we have grown,The laughter of the world is like a moan In our tired hearing, and its song as vain,- We must get home-we must get home again!"
