Innkeepers
My house will stand on the side of a hill,
By a slow, broad river deep and still,
With a tall lone pine on guard nearby,
Where the birds can sing and the storm winds cry.
A flagstone walk with lazy curves,
Will lead to the door where a Pan’s head serves
As a knocker there like a vibrant drum
To let me know that a friend has come;
And the door will squeak as I swing it wide
To welcome you to the cheer inside
Vagabond House – Don Blanding
