VIRGINIA WAUCHOPE BASS 'S LITTLE COTTAGE

 I know a little cottage

where everything's just right;

The windows bloom with tulips-

At dusk there's candlelight

The knotted oak beside it

Is webbed with ivy leaves,

And honeysuckle tangles

In clusters round the eaves


The friendly gate swings open

Against a low stone wall

Where quaint old fashioned blossoms

Design a paisley shawl;

And up the winding pathway

The stones with moss are grown-

I love that little cottage

Because it is my own !
