Or elm, that thinks, and lets the youngsters laugh—

Lead, lift at last your soul that walks the air,

Up to the house-front, or its back perhaps—

Whether facade or no, one coquetry

Of colored brick and carved stone! Stucco? Well,

The daintiness is cheery, that I know,

And all the sportive floral framework fits

The lightsome purpose of the architect.

Those lucarnes which I called conventual, late,

Those are the outlets in the mansard-roof;
