Here's a song for the dawn, for the noon, for the night;
A song for the "Little House," cozy and bright;
A song for the fireplace so warm and so snug;
A song for the doggie asleep on the rug.

Here's a song for the kitchen, for stove, pan and pot;
A song for the pantry, and beans piping hot;
A song for the dining-room which "someone" prepares,
With table and toaster and two waiting chairs.

Here's a song for the parlor and views on the wall,
And the grandest, big davenport (the best thing of all);
A song for the sewing-room, bedroom and den;
A song for the study, with books, pad and pen.

Here's a song for the flowers we plucked in the park;
A song for the sunlight, a song for the dark;
A song for the whole house, chimney and flue;
And a song, aye the sweetest -- a love-song -- for You!
