The sight of home, to weary travelers,
Seems no less than heaven-sent,
But a house looks like a wooden rock
If you've only lived in tents.
What's a tree, if you are from
Greenland
Where no such things are found?
A sitting stone will grow no moss
On drier desert grounds.
What do flight or beak or “nest egg”
mean
To one who's seen no birds?
Without a thing to base it on,
There's nothing in a word.
