BACK from the world of strangers, From exile drear I come. It is as tho’ these mountains Had been my earliest home.

For all the pines and pastures, And all the snows above, And all the blue beyond them, Sing; and their song is Love.

And all the peasant-faces Are brother-faces to me; For this is Home—with Nature, And love, and liberty!
