THERE’S a fond little house builded deep in your heart, And its curtains are daintily white. Its contour is noble, its angles are true, And through the diaphanous, glimmering night The moon drapes its roof in a cloud of delight. There are quaint little dishes on clean little shelves And jellies and jams by the score. And each day you add some remarkable thing, Remembering gayly that never before Was such a collection of goodies galore. This fond little house boasts a garden all green In a wonderful plot at the rear. Where lettuce and spinach and various things That are crispy and crinkly and spicy and queer Grow in straight little rows that are per fectly dear. And somehow the door of the house is his smile. And his arms are the walls high and true. And the roof is his knee and his voice and his hands That weave the mysterious future for you. As love always has done and always will do. And then, though perhaps you may not have quite thought. There are dear little uncertain feet That go pitter-patter aloft on the stair. Where the echo of childish commotion rings sweet, Tour joyous approach to right merrily greet. And all through the stainless and sun shiny years May the little house tranquilly stand. And -ever and ever may peace and content And the patience that waits with these two hand in hand Guard the brave little door that your ti*ue heart has planned. —Woman’s Home Comnanion.
