| Show PURPOSE I 1 sit and look at life all day and wonder what its all about I 1 see men hurry down the way and try to figure the reason out I 1 and all I 1 know is that here on earth in the morning sun and the evening gloam oh why do they hurry and why do they toil why fight and worry and fight despair for a few gay flowers in a patch of soil a new red rug and a big arm chair for steel s t eel blue smoke from a chimney flue and some shining 0 bulbs in a crystal dome 1 all the work of the bustling world men do for the peace and joy of the place called home I 1 A A blazing fire and a shelf of books some curtains white at the window panes paces for the dreams of lovers in cozy nooks a roof overhead oe through the autumn rains for the fragrant scent of the evening meal atis for these men battle and toil and roam for t the e only joy on earth real is the peace and charm of the place called home EDGAR A GUEST |
