W IS FOR WILL, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: If I should die, this house is yours
Last Line: To be remembered by.
Alternate Author Name(s): Davies, W. H.
Subject(s): Wills


If I should die, this house is yours,
A little money too:
It's but a poor reward I make,
For all this care from you.

And though you take a second mate,
And think that man the best,
I would not change -- if dead men could --
One word of this bequest.

Would that I could bequeath to you
My joy in Earth and sky --
Worth more than gold or precious stones,
To be remembered by.
