LOVE OF HOME. - ZaunköniG - 26.12.2010 LOVE OF HOME. A REJOINDER. Hence ! with your jeerings petulant and low ; My love of Home no circumstance can shake ; Too ductile for the change of place to break, And far too passionate for thee to know ; I and yon sycamore have grown together, How on yon slope the shifting sunsets lie. None know like me and mine ; and, tending hither, Flows the strong current of my memory ; From that same flower-bed, ever dear to me, I learn'd how marigolds ^ do bloom and fade ; And from the grove, which skirts this garden-glade, I had my earliest thoughts of Love and Spring ; Thou wott'st not how the heart of man is made ; I learn from thee what change the world can bring. |
