~ 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 eves. The friendly gate swings open Against the 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 this little cottage Because it is my own!
