BUILDING A HOME, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: All the angels bend from heaven, all the fays their blessings bring
Last Line: When two, just two together, build a home.
Subject(s): Home


All the angels bend from heaven, all the fays their blessings bring,
All the flowers burst their brightest from the loam,
All the skies are full of sunshine, all the birds exultant sing,
When two, just two together, build a home!

Not a stone in that foundation but is amethyst
and gold,
And the wood is spiced from Araby the blest.
What a marvel eight small rooms such a wealth of joy can hold.
Such an anthem rise from such a tiny nest!

There are sorrows in the rafters, there are ghosts upon the stairs,
There are many waiting anguishes to come;
But all heaven joins their laughter and all heaven joins their prayers
When two, just two together, build a home.
