Home is not a door,
Home is not a floor;
Home is not a wall,
Home is not a hall.

Door and floor, wall and hall,
And then aloft a rising dome;
All these can make the house,
Cannot they make a dear home.

Home is for all to bear,
Home is for all to care,
Home is for all to shield,
Home is for all to yield.

Bear, shield, care and yield,
Home these alone can build.
