This was no playhouse but a house in earnest.
Your destination and your destiny's
A brook that was the water of the house,
Cold as a spring as yet so near its source,
Too lofty and original to rage.

One of us sings in the street, and we listen to him;
The words ring over us like vague bells of sorrow.

The house you lived in, the house that all of us know.

 
Conrad Aiken
