But home after all things--that dear little spot,
Tho' it be but a desert can ne'er be forgot.

In the thoughts of the day, and the dreams of the night,
On your eyes like the kiss of your mother 'twill light,
Then the mist will disperse which long absence has spread.
And the paths you have trodden again you shall tread.
Then farewell, young exile, wherever you roam,
Oh! dear as your honour, your life, be your home.
