" "
Oh, London is a man’s town, there’s power in the air;
And Paris is a woman’s town, with flowers in her hair;
And it’s sweet to dream in Venice, and it’s great to study Rome;
But when it comes to living, there is no place like home.

The rush and the clamour;

Of the leaves, and the anguished
Moan of the forest vanquished.

Come surest to the goal;
And they who walk in darkness meet
The sunrise of the soul.
