As long as men have hearts that long for homes,
            As long as men have hearts,
Hid often like the acorn in the earth,
Their inborn love of noble woman's worth,
            Beyond all beauty's arts,
Shall stem the sensuous current of desire,
And urge the world's best thought to something higher,
As long as men have hearts that long for homes.
                                                   As Long As Men Have Hearts.
