The little house is not too small <br />To shelter friends who come to call. <br />Though low the roof and small its space <br />It holds the Lord's abounding grace, <br />And every simple room may be <br />Endowed with happy memory. <br /> <br />The little house, severly plain, <br />A wealth of beauty may contain. <br />Within it those who dwell may find <br />High faith which makes for peace of mind, <br />And that sweet understanding which <br />Can make the poorest cottage rich. <br /> <br />The little house can hold all things <br />From which the soul's contentment springs. <br />'Tis not too small for love to grow, <br />For all the joys that mortals know, <br />For mirth and song and that delight <br />Which make the humblest dwelling bright.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-little-home/
