My House

My House

THERE is a place of dim, familiar things,Of contacts vaguely subtle to the touch—I call it home; in my imaginingsEach detail is of value overmuch.There is a place where every little nook,And every cupboard with its special smell,Are clear upon my mind as in a book,I love it with a love that’s hard to tell.There is a garden too where essencesOf flowers queerly mingle in the air,And butterflies, strange iridescences,Flutter about when evening enters there.

THERE is a place of dim, familiar things,

Of contacts vaguely subtle to the touch—

I call it home; in my imaginings

Each detail is of value overmuch.

There is a place where every little nook,And every cupboard with its special smell,Are clear upon my mind as in a book,I love it with a love that’s hard to tell.

There is a place where every little nook,

And every cupboard with its special smell,

Are clear upon my mind as in a book,

I love it with a love that’s hard to tell.

There is a garden too where essencesOf flowers queerly mingle in the air,And butterflies, strange iridescences,Flutter about when evening enters there.

There is a garden too where essences

Of flowers queerly mingle in the air,

And butterflies, strange iridescences,

Flutter about when evening enters there.
