Ownership
If I owned a small house I would paint it so gay, So gay in the street that went solemnly by, AVich bright coloured boxes Of brightly hued flowers, And a lawn in the front, with white daisies starred.
The windows would glitter, crystal glassed, To catch every gleam as the sunset passed In its mantle of amber, and gold, and red, Or the song of cloud galleons skimming over head.
Oh, how it would laugh at the clouds all gray, At the wind and the rain, Would my little house of the crystal pane. It would gather the sun and the laughing sky, The soft kiss of winds as they hurried hy. And keep them to fling to the world outside. Would my gay little house With the brightly hued flowers In the street that went solemnly by—Mabel Amy Beeken.
