CONCERNING HIS OLD HOME
Mood I
I wish to see it never—That dismal place
With cracks in its floor—
I would forget it ever!
Mood II
To see it once, that sadAnd memoried place—
Yes, just once more—
I should be faintly glad!
Mood III
To see it often again—That friendly place
With its green low door—
I'm willing anywhen!
821
Mood IV
I'll haunt it night and day—That loveable place,
With its flowers' rich store
That drives regret away!
