SONG FOR A LITTLE HOUSE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: I'm glad our house is a little house
Last Line: Are paying duty calls.
Alternate Author Name(s): Hall, Galway
Subject(s): Houses


I'M glad our house is a little house,
Not too tall nor too wide:
I'm glad the hovering butterflies
Feel free to come inside.

Our little house is a friendly house.
It is not shy or vain;
It gossips with the talking trees,
And makes friends with the rain.

And quick leaves cast a shimmer of green
Against our whited walls,
And in the phlox, the courteous bees
Are paying duty calls.
