“Laughter shall drown the raucous shout;And, though these shelt’ring walls are thin,May they be strong to keep hate outAnd hold love in.”

“It takes a heap o’ children to make a home that’s true,And home can be a palace grand, or just a plain, old shoe;But if it has a mother dear, and a good old dad or two,Why, that’s the sort of good old home for good old me and you.”
