The House of Love

Sometimes tho House of Love is gay,
And through its portals spills
A hit of sun. q burst of song,
The breath of da ffodils
And l go singing through the rooms
OR trip on joyous feet
About the homely tasks of love
And Q, btit life is sweet.
Eut sometimes clouds of doubt and
Cling round the House of Love.
It's little rooms grow gray within,
As skies grow gray above
And then on timid feet | creep
Along the narrow stair
Unto the altar of your faith,
And burn a candle there.
