Explore "Love's House" by Frederic Manning on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Build for this little hour / A house where Love may sleep, / Some tranquil, fragrant bower.
A place where Grief may weep / Build for a little while, / In thine heart's hidden deep;
A place where Joy may smile / To make the hours fly fast, / And time and tears beguile.
Build not a house to last; / Perishes every flower / When Autumn once is past.
Build for this little hour.
