Home Again

By Mary F. Butts

We have roamed in the fragrant fields, We have lived with the murmuring trees, We have heard the love talk of the birds, And the whisper of the breeze.
We have rocked on the laughing wave, Where the breaker tossed its foam; Now we turn again, as the bright days wane, To the happy hours of home.
For not on the mountain-top, Nor in the softest vale, Not where the canvas fills and strains To the boisterous summer gale;
Not in the secret wood, Though the restless heart may roam The world around, can joy be found Like the joy of love and home.
— Mary F. Butts.
