GIVE ME WIDE WALLS TO BUILD MY HOUSE OF LIFE, by ANONYMOUS First Line: Give me wide walls to build my house of life Last Line: Give me wide walls to build my house of life | |||
Give me wide walls to build my house of Life -- The North shall be of Love, against the winds of fate; The South of Tolerance, that I may outreach hate; The East of Faith, that rises clear and new each day; The West of Hope, that e'en dies a glorious way. The threshold 'neath my feet shall be Humility; The roof -- the very sky itself -- Infinity. Give me wide walls to build my house of Life. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest..."'TIS MIDNIGHT, AND THE SETTING SUN" by ANONYMOUS "'TWAS ROLLOG, AND THE MINIM POTES" by ANONYMOUS 1648 : FOR COSSACKS by ANONYMOUS A CHERRY YEAR / A MERRY YEAR by ANONYMOUS A COMET FROM THE RHYMERS' CLUB AFAR by ANONYMOUS "A FOX, A FOX, UP GALLANTS TO THE FIELDS" by ANONYMOUS A HORSE AND A FLEA AND THREE BLIND MICE by ANONYMOUS "A LAIRD, A LORD / A COOPER, A THIEF" by ANONYMOUS A LITTLE COCK SPARROW SAT ON A GREEN TREE by ANONYMOUS |
