April is National Poetry Month!

I love poetry! And to have a whole month dedicated to showing it off is awesome! I do write some poetry (not very good!) so I won't share it. But in honor of National Poetry Month, I'm gonna share some oldies. So here we go!

Song - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Stay, stay at home, my heart, and rest;
Home-keeping hearts are happiest,
For those that wander they know not where
Are full of trouble and full of care;
To stay at home is best.

Weary and homesick and distressed,
they wander east, they wander west,
And are baffled and beaten and blown about
By the winds of the wilderness of doubt;
To stay at home is best.

Then stay at home, my heart, and rest;
The bird is safest in its nest;
O'er all that flutter their wings and fly
A hawk is hovering in the sky;
To stay at home is best.
