I'm made Of every color gay
OF black or brown or softest gray.
My doors are made Of hides and skins
AS one room ends the next begins.
While all are numbered to the last,
No feet have DER the threshold passed
Pm made of wood or rags or grass
And made of clothing. too. alas!
The castoff garment Of a clown
Or Of prince Of great renown.
I'm loved by children and the old.
And to the blind my tale I've told.
A good companion for day.
Yet not word I'm heard to say.
