IS the house not homely yet? There let pleasant thoughts be set: With bright eyes and hurried feet, There let severed friendships meet, There let sorrow learn to smile, And sweet talk the nights beguile. Thus shall each, a friendly elf, Leave you something of himself, Something dear and kind and true, That will stay and talk with you. They shall go, but one and all Leave their faces on the wall, Leave brave words of hope and love Legendwise inscribed above. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...LOVE IN TWILIGHT by STEPHEN VINCENT BENET A MIDNIGHT SUN EPISODE by WILLIAM ALLEN BUTLER |
