MAXIMS FOR THE OLD HOUSE: THE PORCH by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH

First Line: I REACH ABROAD MY WISTFUL PALMS
Last Line: THAT THESE OLD ROOMS MAY BETTER BE.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
I reach abroad my wistful palms,
As beggars cry, "An alms, an alms."
Leave thou some kindliness in me
That these old rooms may better be.
