Rhyme Scheme: ABACDCD EFEFGFGF HIJIGDGD KGKGDFDF| s are asleep in the chairs | A |
| Where the building blocks and the toy balloon | B |
| And the soldiers guard the stairs | A |
| Let me step in a house where the tiny cart | C |
| With the horses rules the floor | D |
| And rest comes into my weary heart | C |
| For I am at home once more | D |

| Give me the house with the toys about | E |
| With the battered old train of cars | F |
| The box of paints and the books left out | E |
| And the ship with her broken spars | F |
| Let me step in a house at the close of day | G |
| That is littered with children's toys | F |
| And dwell once more in the haunts of play | G |
| With the echoes of by gone noise | F |
| - | |
| Give me the house where the toys are seen | H |
| The house where the children romp | I |
| And I'll happier be than man has been | J |
| 'Neath the gilded dome of pomp | I |
| Let me see the litter of bright eyed play | G |
| Strewn over the parlor floor | D |
| And the joys I knew in a far off day | G |
| Will gladden my heart once more | D |
| - | |
| Whoever has lived in a toy strewn home | K |
| Though feeble he be and gray | G |
| Will yearn no matter how far he roam | K |
| For the glorious disarray | G |
| Of the little home with its littered floor | D |
| That was his in the by gone days | F |
| And his heart will throb as it throbbed before | D |
| When he rests where a baby plays | F |
