She looked to find a poem,
For her heart was all a-song,
And she longed to find expression
To pass the joy along.

But it played -- a thing elusive,
Like a floating thistledown;
So she turned to little duties
As daily she had found.

She put a tiny house to rights
And made it cherry bright.
She set a bowl of blooming bulbs
Within the window's light.

She answered fifty questions
For a busy little brain,
She kissed away a troubled tear
And made a circus train.

She served an appetizing meal
On quaint old Quimper ware,
And half forgot the poem thing
To rumple up his hair.

She watched a glowing sunset,
And then a white star shone.
From heaven's blue a message came,
"Your poem -- 'tis your home."
