Composition Lyrics:      Payne, John Howard

'Mid pleasures and palaces, though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home;
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek thro' the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.

I gaze on the moon as I tread the drear wild,
And feel that my mother now thinks of her child;
As she looks on that moon from our own cottage door,
Thro' the woodbine where fragrance shall cheer me no more.

An exile from home, splendor dazzles in vain;
Oh, give me my lowly thatch'd cottage again;
The birds singing gaily, that came at my call;
Give me them, and that peace of mind, dearer than all.

REFRAIN:
Home! home! sweet, sweet home!
Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home.
