O! Blest is the Hearth.
1832.
O blest is the hearth, and delightful the home
Where Honour and Virtue preside;
Where the Husband's as kind as the youthful Bridegroom,
And the Wife is as fond as the Bride!
Where Honour and Virtue preside;
Where the Husband's as kind as the youthful Bridegroom,
And the Wife is as fond as the Bride!
Though the bloom may be fading that lived on her cheek,
And the fire of his glance may be colder,
The mind still is there, true affection to speak,
And the mind never grows any older!
And the fire of his glance may be colder,
The mind still is there, true affection to speak,
And the mind never grows any older!
