    Nearer my Father’s house,
  Where the many mansions be,
Nearer the great white throne,

Nearer leaving the cross,
  Nearer gaining the crown.

Nearer Home.

  Yet lived she at its close,
And passed the long, long night away
  In darning ragged hose.

  Illumed the Eastern skies,
She passed about the kitchen grate
  And went to making pies.

And dreamed a dream that could not be;
The waves that plunged along the shore
Said only: “Dreamer, dream no more!”
