Excerpt from A Peck O' Maut

An Old House

Great Rome was raised on hill-tops seven:
In pomp to all the winds of Heaven
Her brazen eagles flew:

I know an old house in a hollow,
Its white walls harled with good Scots harling;
Here haunts at dawn the gossip starling,
Here comes the first returning swallow
When skies are egg-shell blue.

Great Rome, she walled eternal glory:
The fame that rang in camp and story
Still to her stones belongs:

The old house shadows, quaint and fragrant,
A garden famed for stocks and roses,
Where, when a summer evening closes,
Old borders bloom, half-guessed and vagrant,
Like echoes of old songs.
