Domum redit Poeta

by (1894–1916)

Listen in the reader

O much desired from far away And long, I hold thee once again, Thou undiminished treasury Of small delights, yet nowise vain:

The cat curled on the cosy hearth, The thrushes in the garden trees, The memories of younger years, The quiet voices, and the peace.
