DOMESTIC HAPPINESS.
Oh home! thou only seat of every joy,
The heart can relish or the judgment taste,
Estrang'd from thee, the soul finds no employ,
Nor feels the present, nor enjoys the past.
O let me seek thee in thy calm delights,
Thy looks of welcome, and thy friendly kiss;
Thy cheerful morning, & thy peaceful nights,
With all a husband's, all a parent's bliss.
