No marvel that poets have chosen home and the native land, as grateful themes of song. In themselves, the words are full of melody; in their associations, they form exquisite music. It is a blessed thing to have a haven of rest, where love lights its beacon and keeps its vigils to greet the returning wanderer, weary of a cheerless pilgrimage by flood or field. God help those for whom every country wears a foreign aspect—who avert their steps from the dwelling of their fathers, banished by the clouds of discord, or the rank weeds of desolation.
