Light your fire and never fear,
Life was made for love and cheer.


THE DOOR

The lintel low enough to keep out pomp and pride:
The threshold high enough to turn deceit aside:
The fastening strong enough from robbers to defend:
This door will open at a touch to welcome every friend.


THE DIAL

Time can never take
What Time did not give;
When my shadows have all passed,
You shall live.



THE SUN-DIAL AT MORVEN

FOR BAYARD AND HELEN STOCKTON


Two hundred years of blessing I record
For Morven's house, protected by the Lord:
And still I stand among old-fashioned flowers
To mark for Morven many sunlit hours.
