Henry Van Dyke - A Home Song
Work rating: Medium

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 abides,
      And Friendship is a guest,
Is surely home, and home-sweet-home:
      For there the heart can rest.
