MY HOUSE
May nothing evil cross this door, Ancl may ill fortune never pry About these windows; may the war of rains go by. Strengthened by faith, these rafters will Withstand the battering of the storm; This hearth, though all the world< grow chill, Will keep us warm. Peace shall walk softly through these rooms, Touching our lips with holy wine, Till every casual corner blooms Into a shrine. Laughter shall drown the raucous shout; And sheltering walls keep out the din; May they be strong to keep hate out And hold love in. —Louis XJntermeycr.
