CHILDREN IN THE HOUSE

by: Euripides

ADY, the sun's light to our eyes is dear,

And fair the tranquil reaches of the sea,

And flowery earth in May, and bounding waters;

And so right many fair things I might praise;

Yet nothing is so radiant and so fair

As for souls childless, with desire sore-smitten,

To see the light of babes about the house.
