They don’t wish Me at Home.

They don’t wish me at home, though they miss me,

’Twould be a great assurance, I fear,

To think for a moment some soft one

Would say, “I wish Toby were here.”

Although the poor tom-cat at the fireside

May think of poor me as I roam,

Oh yes, I’d be green beyond measure

To think they do wish me at home.
