Show THE LITTLE HOUSE. I will have a little house When tho children are flown, The feel of a big house Would bo cold as a stono; A house full of emptiness And wo too nlone. But in a little house Wo could creep to tho blaze, Wo could warm our old hearts With tho thoughts of old days; Him and mo together When tho firelight plays. There would hardly bo room For tho ghosts to come in; . Ghosts of tho little children Who mndo a merry din, " Long ago and long ago, When I waB queen. I will havo a little garden Big enough for two, Where wo can walk together Whon tho skies are blue, Talking tho good days over And how fast they flew. Tho little house and garden For him and mo just, And all the sweet times wo had . -Withered to duel, A big house would break my heart "For the children lost, i -Katharine Tynan. |
