In Lancaster PA , a hundred fifty years ago
There stood a house I’ll never live
In which I never hope to know
Upon this well-worn porch of pine and timber forest hitching posts
(a makeshift stage of knotted planks)
The dwelling huddled mid its hosts
Two icons guarding either side its weather beaten east/west walls
The silversmith and town saloon
With brandied wine and flowered halls. . . .
