Sweet Home

Sweet Home From the tense of turbulence you profer comfort, from the tests of time you offer abode, Will all the fortresses of home refer incline? Will all the fortitudes of hope adversity sublime? The ocean of pleasure thou are; forever will I clamour instill, The mission of leisure sweet amass; forever will I welcome still. Dotting the lines of succour through the poets' quill-pen, Blotting the limbs of honour through the Equerrian quince. The enclave of birth and nurture to the dwell enclose, The conclave of might and culture to the bells entwine. Entrenched in shelter from rain and sun concomitant undo, Embellished in sceptres from ornaments to unravel the feud's undue. As the elements of Architecture are singing beautitudes, The velvets of bevels are clinking tambourines. As the culverts of artefacts are mincing soirees, The valance of bevies are ringing solarium. In May you lay in mash of holy velds, And in June will Juno return amidst. Oh God of mercy grant us the grace of lair, When the solace of sauna breeds comfort of sweet home. Adeola Yusuf Amuni
