The Dearest Spot on Earth (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from The Dearest Spot on Earth Home, Sweet Home How did the world live without it so long What immeasurable solace and sweetness it has added to life during these last seventy-five years! Looked at from this distance, Clari, or the Maid of Milan, of which the song was a part, was a divinely inspired opera. Home, Sweet Home is a language of itself. It is a kind of Esperanto of the soul in which men, strangers to each other, may unite in common worship, he of the cottage and he of the palace, each kneeling at the shrine set up in his own hallowed memory. It is one of those songs that help to make democracy. Its passion is a common one, recogniz ing neither border, nor breed, nor birth. Let our country sing it more and more!
