MY HOUSES Be I built my house of dreams Of fancies and bright day dreams. With the mortar of my imagination I fastened it together. The panes of the windows were the gleams— The iridescent gleams of bubbles. It was beautiful as are the smiles Of children in their sleep— And I cherished it and protected it, For it was fragile as are all dreams; But one day the cold wind of reason came And blew-upon it and it was wafted away To the four corners of the world. I stood heartbroken, for I had builded long And the days of my youth were in that house. I am building again, but not with dreams Nor fanctes—my imagination is dead. I have laid a foundation of knowledge, And upon this I erect the house of my life. With the mortar of experience Do I fasten it together. The work goes but slowly, for I am untaught; But the cold, drear winds of reason May howl around it and tear with their clutching hands As they will, for I am building securely. —L. M.
