Hang UP his clothes IN closets
And dust his easy chair:
The ashes he deposits
In corners, here and there,
You may with safety CLEAN them
Wherever they are thrown:
His books-yes. YOU may CLEAN them
But leave hts desk alone!
Pick UP his pipes and range them
In order on the shelf.
His pictures-you may change them
About 70 suit yourself:
Redecorate. refurnish
His room to give It "tone."
Dust. scrub and sweep and burnish,
But leave his desk alonel
hN'll bear your zeal for order
with patience calm and sweet,
But do not cross the border
That marks his last retreat;
Touch not that heap and tumble
OF junk he calls his own,
Accept my counsel humble,
And Leave his desk alone!
