The New Home
How strange it is a month ago
I lodged elsewhere, and did not know
This house existed; not I sit
And see myself the lord of it.
My foot was free, for years of days
I went my unregardful ways,
Yet men were toiling with the pick,
Were smelting steel and burning brick,
And felling trees and in the mill
Were shaping rafter, joist and sill,
To rear my roof against the rain,
They raised the chimney, set the pane,
Made every corner true and plumb
To wait the hour that I should come.
These men had sail from over sea
That they might do this good for me;
But all the time, I did not know
They lived—until a month ago.
God bless, I say, this kind forethought,
And bless the careful hands that wrought
To build this house, and build it well,
That I might have a place to dwell!
