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

First Line: YE WHO HAVE COME TO SUCH AN AGE
Last Line: IN THOSE NEW MANSIONS OF THE BLEST.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
Ye who have come to such an age
Ye dream of that Great Pilgrimage,
Think not to bid this roof farewell.
Lo! our old smiles shall give you rest
In those new mansions of the blest.
