THE KINGDOM OF HOME.

By William Brunton

How pure and precious is the dear home thought, Made sacred with the memories of old; It doth all loveliness of life enfold That can by service true and love be bought. 'Tis into perfectness of beauty wrought, More wonderful than jeweled works of gold; Its rich endearments never fully told, And yet by each and all with passion sought. There bring the heart all free from guile and snare; Give sweet devotion through the passing days; Each want and wish, each pain and pleasure, share, And naught shall be but thankfulness and praise. Be true as men and women God has blest With that dear kingdom evermore the best. — William Brunton.
