Rhyme Scheme: ABABCDCD EFEFGHGH IJIJBABA KDKDLMLM CBCBNANA| The little path that leads to home | A |
| That is the road for me | B |
| I know no finer path to roam | A |
| With finer sights to see | B |
| With thoroughfares the world is lined | C |
| That lead to wonders new | D |
| But he who treads them leaves behind | C |
| The tender things and true | D |
| - | |
| Oh north and south and east and west | E |
| The crowded roadways go | F |
| And sweating brow and weary breast | E |
| Are all they seem to know | F |
| And mad for pleasure some are bent | G |
| And some are seeking fame | H |
| And some are sick with discontent | G |
| And some are bruised and lame | H |
| - | |
| Across the world the gleaming steel | I |
| Holds out its lure for men | J |
| But no one finds his comfort real | I |
| Till he comes home again | J |
| And charted lanes now line the sea | B |
| For weary hearts to roam | A |
| But Oh the finest path to me | B |
| Is that which leads to home | A |
| - | |
| 'Tis there I come to laughing eyes | K |
| And find a welcome true | D |
| 'Tis there all care behind me lies | K |
| And joy is ever new | D |
| And Oh when every day is done | L |
| Upon that little street | M |
| A pair of rosy youngsters run | L |
| To me with flying feet | M |
| - | |
| The world with myriad paths is lined | C |
| But one alone for me | B |
| One little road where I may find | C |
| The charms I want to see | B |
| Though thoroughfares majestic call | N |
| The multitude to roam | A |
| I would not leave to know them all | N |
| The path that leads to home | A |
