DREAM HOUSE, by CATHERINE PARMENTER NEWELL First Line: Let there be within these phantom walls Last Line: All of life and love my house shall know! Subject(s): Home | ||||||||
Let there be within these phantom walls Beauty where the hearth fire's shadow falls. . . Quiet pictures -- books -- and welcoming chairs. . . Music that the very silence shares. . . Kitchen windows curtained blue and white. . . Shelves and cupboards built for my delight. . . Little things that lure and beckon me With their tranquil joy! And let there be Lilt of laughter -- swift-forgotten tears Woven through the fabric of the years. . . Strength to guard me -- eyes to answer mine, Mutely clear. And though without may shine Stars of dawn or sunset's wistful glow -- All of life and love my house shall know! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...EL FLORIDA ROOM by RICHARD BLANCO DESTINATIONS by JOSEPHINE JACOBSEN TO THIS HOUSE by ROBINSON JEFFERS THE UPSTAIRS ROOM by WELDON KEES HOME IS SO SAD by PHILIP LARKIN DUTCH INTERIOR by DAVID LEHMAN |
