“When the warrior returns, from the battle afar,To the home and the country he nobly defended,O! warm be the welcome to gladden his ear,And loud be the joy that his perils are ended:In the full tide of song let his fame roll along,To the feast-flowing board let us gratefully throng,Where, mixed with the olive, the laurel shall wave,And form a bright wreath for the brows of the brave.” CountryHomeFormJoySongReturnBattleFameEarsBraveWaveWarmWelcomeWarriorLoudBoardsTidesPerilBrowsAfarOlivesLaurelsWreaths Book:Poems of the late Francis S.

“Sing songs that none have sung, think thoughts that ne'er in the brain have rung, Walk in paths that none have trod, weep tears as none have shed for God, Give peace to all to whom none other gave, Claim him your own who's everywhere disclaimed. Love all with love that none have felt and Brave the battle of life with strength unchained.” ThinkingGivingSongFeltWalksHealingBrainPathTearsBattleClaimsBraveShedBattle Of Life Author:Paramahansa Yogananda
