Poem extols staying at home as best for weary hearts and those wandering feel lost and troubled. Refrain repeats that remaining home brings rest and steadiness despite doubt.
James Ward recounts years of wandering as a tramp starting from New York in November 1875. He details cold shocks in Montreal and St John’s, detours through Des Riviere and More’s Station, and meals or lack thereof in various towns. He narrates near-miss meals, a hotel sting, brief help from strangers, and repeated train refusals as he seeks homeward passage to New York.
