As far as I may wander, I will still
Declare a home to which I may return.
Other lands and places may fulfill
My necessary wants, yet I will yearn
In some internal place, to be where I
Can be myself most freely. It is there,
No matter where my present self may lie,
That I am best. If in some otherwhere
I seem content - or even am - then ask
If I am truly happy. I will say
That while I may, in that small instant, bask
In other sunbeams, that will soon decay
And turn to night; but when I cease to roam
I'll light up from within, and be at home.
