I'M glad our house is a little house, <br />Not too tall nor too wide: <br />I'm glad the hovering butterflies <br />Feel free to come inside. <br /> <br />Our little house is a friendly house. <br />It is not shy or vain; <br />It gossips with the talking trees, <br />And makes friends with the rain. <br /> <br />And quick leaves cast a shimmer of green <br />Against our whited walls, <br />And in the phlox, the dutious bees <br />Are paying duty calls.<br /><br />Christopher Morley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-for-a-little-house/
