House and Home

By Anna B. Bryant

Straws and sticks and a bit of wool— These are the things to make a nest, Walls of the bird's "house beautiful;" But the roof is a brooding mother- breast.
Brick and mortar or carven stone, Wood that's shaped by the builder's wit— What is it all, when all is done, Till love, true love, shall inhabit it?
Tent of Arab or palace dome, Cot or castle, as suits thee best; Likest heaven the tender home At the sign of the brooding mother- breast.
—Anna B. Bryant.
