To Mr and Mrs A H S BrusselsA
-
-
Two homeless birds fatigued by flightB
Have rested on the Belgian shoreC
And now at the approach of nightB
Must spread their wings and fly once moreC
-
Two others when they saw them comeD
From out the dark and stormy westE
Conveyed them to their pleasant homeF
And fed and warmed them breast to breastE
-
Dear Birds of Brussels do not craveG
The long long route by which we cameH
More safe than any restless waveG
The sheltered nest of AuderghemH
-
Henceforth however far we roamH
'Neath clouds that chill or suns that burnI
The memory of your lovely homeH
Will make us certain to returnI
-
For stronger than the subtle spellJ
That homeward draws the carrier doveK
Are the sweet bonds that clearly tellJ
Of Friendship welded into LoveK
