Lines Written From Home

Though bleak these woods, and damp the ground

With fallen leaves so thickly strown,

And cold the wind that wanders round

With wild and melancholy moan;

There is a friendly roof, I know,

Might shield me from the wintry blast;

There is a fire, whose ruddy glow

Will cheer me for my wanderings past.

And so, though still, where'er I go,

Cold stranger-glances meet my eye;

Though, when my spirit sinks in woe,

Unheeded swells the unbidden sigh;

Though solitude, endured too long,

Bids youthful joys too soon decay,

Makes mirth a stranger to my tongue,

And overclouds my noon of day;

When kindly thoughts, that would have way,

Flow back discouraged to my breast; --

I know there is, though far away,

A home where heart and soul may rest.

Warm hands are there, that, clasped in mine,

The warmer heart will not belie;

While mirth, and truth, and friendship shine

In smiling lip and earnest eye.

The ice that gathers round my heart

May there be thawed; and sweetly, then,

The joys of youth, that now depart,

Will come to cheer my soul again.

Though far I roam, that thought shall be

My hope, my comfort, everywhere;

While such a home remains to me,

My heart shall never know despair!

Answer 2

Though bleak these woods, and damp the ground 
With fallen leaves so thickly strown, 
And cold the wind that wanders round 
With wild and melancholy moan; 
There is a friendly roof, I know, 
Might shield me from the wintry blast; 
There is a fire, whose ruddy glow 
Will cheer me for my wanderings past. 

And so, though still, where'er I go, 
Cold stranger-glances meet my eye; 
Though, when my spirit sinks in woe, 
Unheeded swells the unbidden sigh; 

Though solitude, endured too long, 
Bids youthful joys too soon decay, 
Makes mirth a stranger to my tongue, 
And overclouds my noon of day; 

When kindly thoughts, that would have way, 
Flow back discouraged to my breast; -- 
I know there is, though far away, 
A home where heart and soul may rest. 

Warm hands are there, that, clasped in mine, 
The warmer heart will not belie; 
While mirth, and truth, and friendship shine 
In smiling lip and earnest eye. 

The ice that gathers round my heart 
May there be thawed; and sweetly, then, 
The joys of youth, that now depart, 
Will come to cheer my soul again. 

Though far I roam, that thought shall be 
My hope, my comfort, everywhere; 
While such a home remains to me, 
My heart shall never no despire
