A Farmhouse for my daughter
If I get to be a man of great means,
I’ll buy a fine farmhouse in Philippines,
That has naturally flowing water,
And let it all to my only daughter.
The rent I shall ask for will just be this:
That she lets me spend there some time of bliss,
Amidst those fresh blossoms of first flowers,
First fall of mangoes with their great flavours,
An if she grows new blossoms on bowers,
Rent-less, whole estate will be ever hers—
That farmhouse in her native Philippines,
That has naturally flowing water,
Which, once was on rent to my daughter.
