"Home" says the sweet voice, and warm Comfort rises,
Holding my soul with velvet-fingered hands;
Comfort of leafy lair and lapping fur,
Soft couches, cushions, curtains, and the stir
Of easy pleasures that the body prizes,
Of soft, swift feet to serve the least commands.
I shrink-half rise-and then it murmurs "Duty!"
Again the past rolls out-a scroll unfurled;
Allegiance and long labor due my lord
Allegiance in an idleness abhorred-
I am the squaw-the slave-the harem beauty-
I serve and serve, the handmaid of the world.
My soul rebels-but hark! a new note thrilling,
Deep, deep, past finding-I protest no more;
The voice says "Love!" and all those ages dim
Stand glorified and justified in him;
I bow-I kneel-the woman soul is willing-
"Love is the law. Be still! Obey! Adore!"
And then-ah, then! The deep voice murmurs "Mother!"
And all life answers from the primal sea;
A mingling of all lullabies; a peace
That asks no understanding; the release
Of nature's holiest power-who seeks another?
Home? Home is Mother-Mother, Home-to me.
"Home!" says the deep voice; "Home and Easy Pleasure!
Safety and Comfort, Laws of Life well kept!
