Explore "His Mansion" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
There was a thought he hid from all men's eyes, / And by his prudent life and deeds of worth / He left a goodly record upon earth / As one both pure and wise.
But when he reached a dark unsightly door / Beyond the grave, there stood his secret thought. / It was the mansion he had built and brought / To dwell in, on that shore.
