THE OLD HOUSE

Maurice Henry Hewlett

Mossy gray stands the House, four-square to the wind, Embosomed in the hills. The garden old Of yew and box and fishpond speaks her mind, Sweet-ordered, quaint, recluse, fold within fold

Of quietness; but true and choice and kind — A sober casket for a heart of gold.
