Rhyme Scheme: ABBCC DEFFGG HHIJBB| sure the whole world hasn't any happier man than I | A |
| The Mother sittin' mendin' little stockin's toe an' knee | B |
| An' tellin' all that's happened through the busy day to me | B |
| Oh I don't know how to say it but these cosy autumn nights | C |
| Seem to glow with true contentment an' a thousand real delights | C |

| The dog sprawled out before me knows that huntin' days are here | D |
| 'Cause he dreams and seems to whimper that a flock o' quail are near | E |
| An' the children playin' checkers till it's time to go to bed | F |
| Callin' me to settle questions whether black is beatin' red | F |
| Oh these nights are filled with gladness an' I puff my pipe an' smile | G |
| An' tell myself the struggle an' the work are both worth while | G |
| - | |
| The flames are full o' pictures that keep dancin' to an' fro | H |
| Bringin' back the scenes o' gladness o' the happy long ago | H |
| An' the whole wide world is silent an' I tell myself just this | I |
| That within these walls I cherish there is all my world there is | J |
| Can I keep the love abiding in these hearts so close to me | B |
| An' the laughter of these evenings I shall gain life's victory | B |
