Where thou art, that is home."

Remorse --is Memory --awake --
Her Parties all astir --
A Presence of Departed Acts --
At window --and at Door --

"The Pedigree of Honey
Does not concern the Bee --
A Clover, any time, to him,
Is Aristocracy --"

Fortune's expensive smile Is earned.

"He ate and drank the precious Words,
His Spirit grew robust;
He knew no more that he was poor,
Nor that his frame was Dust."
