IF?
If we had builded aa we planned last year
A home of cheerful room* and porches wide,
If we had worked, instead of dreamed, to rear
A structure where contentment would abide,
Where little children’s voice/ could be heard
In merry shout and laughter ringing free
Without the fear of any chiding word
From irate landlord, or from you, or me.
We would have missed the poor homehunter’s doom,
If we bad builded as we planned last yearl
The soul expands if you but give it room,
' But shrivels in a crowded atmosphere.
We would have had a dwelling of our own, , .
And this mad war that raised the building cost
Would not affect us, had we only known,
But now our opportunity is lost!
