GOING HOME.

Good bye, proud world, I'm going home; Thou art not my friend, I am not thine. Long through thy weary crowds I roam— A river ark on the ocean brine. Long I've been tossed like the driven foam, But now, proud world, I'm going home.
Good bye to flattery's fawning face, To grandeur, with his wise grimmace, To upstart wealth's averted eye, To supple office, low and high, To crowded halls, to court and street, To frozen hearts and hasting feet, To those who go, and those who come; Good bye, proud world, I'm going home.
