Origin of Home sweet home

"Home, Sweet Home" is a song from the opera Clari, or the Maid of Milan, which premiered in 1823 at London's Covent Garden. John Howard Payne, an American actor and playwright, wrote the lyrics.

It became an anthem for soldiers during the American Civil War after becoming popular in the late 1800s.

"Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble there's no place like home!
A charm from the skies seems to hallow us there,
Which, seek through the world, is ne'er met with elsewhere.
Home! Home! Sweet, sweet home!
There's no place like home!
There's no place like home!"
