The Love Nest |
| Many builders there have been |
| Since the world began; |
| Palace, cottage, mansion, inn, |
| They have built for man. |
| Some were small and some were tall: |
| Long or wide or low. |
| But the best one of them all |
| Jack built long ago. |
| 'Twas built in bygone days, |
| Yet millions sing its praise. |
| Just a love nest |
| Cozy with charm, |
| Like a dove nest |
| Down on a farm. |
| A veranda with some sort of clinging vine, |
| Then a kitchen where some rambler roses twine. |
| Then a small room, |
| Tea set of blue; |
| Best of all, room— |
| Dream room for two. |
| Better than a palace with a gilded dome, |
| Is a love nest |
| You can call home. |
| Building houses still goes on |
| Now as well as then. |
| Ancient Jack and Jill are gone, |
| Yet return again. |
| Ever comes the question old: |
| Shall we build for pride, |
| Or shall brick and mortar hold |
| Warmth and love inside? |
| The answer you may know: |
| Jack solved it long ago |
