Our House of Dreams


Almost a score of years

’Mid smiles and tears,

We’ve builded, you and I, our house of dreams,

And still through all the days,

Along the stony ways

Love’s halo gleams.


Sometime the day was bright;

Sometime a Winter light

Fell where we toiled slow with willing hands;

But Love was always there,

A gleam of light to spare

From Promise Lands.


We’ve seen the structure tall

In hopeless ruin fall

And hope’s fair star shine out with feeble gleams;

But Love, Sweetheart, is true

As we begin anew

Our house of dreams.
