Living

Hamewith

by Charles Murray 1864–1941

From Hamewith (1916)

Living

Hot youth ever is a ranger,
New scenes ever its desire;
Cauld Eild, doubtfu' o' the stranger,
Thinks but o' haudin' in the fire.

Midway, the wanderer is weary,
Fain he'd be turnin' in his prime
Hamewith--the road that's never dreary,
Back where his heart is a' the time.
