And windows with small leaded panes,
Broad window-seats for when it rains.
A big blue bowl of pot-pourri
And—yes, a Spanish chestnut-tree
To coin the autumn's minted gold.
A summer-house for drinking tea—
All these (just think!) for you and me.
A staircase of the old black wood
Cut in the days of Robin Hood,
And banisters worn smooth as glass
Down which your hand will lightly pass.
A piano with dear yellow keys
For wistful twilight melodies
And dusty bottles in a bin—
All these for you to revel in!
But when? Ah well, until that time
We'll habit in this house of rhyme!
