Home and Love

Just Home and Love! The words are small

Four little letters unto each;

And yet you will not find in all 

The wind and gracious range of speech

Two more so tenderly complete:

When angels talk in Heaven above,

I'm sure they have no words sweeter

    Than Home and Love

Just Home and Love! It's hard to guess

Which of the two were best to gain;

A home without Love is bitterness;

Love without Home is often pain.

No! each alone will seldom do;

Somehow they travel hand and glove:

If you win one you must have two,

    Both Home and Love

And if you've both, we'll then I'm sure 

You ought to sing the whole day long;

It doesn't matter if you're poor 

With these to make divine your song.

And so I praise fully repeat, 

When angels talk in Heaven above,

There are no words more simply sweet

      Than Home and Love
