My Abode of Harmony

A cottage can be calm, cosy, not tall; A hut may be; an inexpensive stall. Exalted seat, stiff ship's hilly haven Exalted mansion,'midst turf well-shaven. Rare varieties of cacti, high in pots Rare orchids, rose plots, lacy ferns with spots. Trees like pomegranate, plum, peach and pear Trees that will suffer no knife, axe, saw, spear. Safe associate, loyal, as of olden Safe with a retriever, silky, golden. Pet spree to seek solace, sip joy in roves Pet garners concealed in gardens and groves. Only for four hearts impartial as rain Only for folk our blissfulness won't drain. What pink portrayal, portly, full of light! What blend with beauty, a ben'fit - no blight!
