" "
If you call a gypsy a vagabond, I think you do him wrong,
For he never goes a-travelling but he takes his home along.
And the only reason a road is good, as every wanderer knows,
Is just because of the homes, the homes, the homes to which it goes.

This man has home and child and wife And battle set for every day. This man has God and love and life; These stand, all else shall pass away.
