Home Song

I read within a poet's book
     A word that starred the page,
"Stone walls do not a prison make,
     Nor iron bars a cage."

Yes, that is true, and something more:
     You'll find, where'er you roam,
That marble floors and gilded walls
     Can never make a home.

But every house where Love abide
     And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home, sweet home;
     For there the heart can rest.

-Henry van Dyke (1852-1933)
