...AND NO BELL RINGS by JOSEPHINE WINSLOW JOHNSON

First Line: SOME DAY, WHEN ALL THE LITTLE BILLS ARE PAID
Last Line: AND OBSERVE THE MOUNTAINS WHERE THE EAGLES NEST.

Some day, when all the little bills are paid,
And all the letters answered, and the door
Chained and bolted, and the chair
Propped under the handle, and no bell
Rings:
In that day we will rise and walk to the window,
We will rise and kneel by the window,
And observe the mountains where the eagles nest.
