The House

There is a house that I can see.

I see it nightly in a dream.

A house that’s built of brick and stone.

A house that’s built for me alone.

One by one the brick I lay.

From break of dawn ’til night I stay.

To build a house of brick and stone.

To build a house for me alone.

It took some time, but now it’s mine.

My house! My house is so divine!

I built my house of brick and stone.

A house in which I’m so alone.

My dream is clear and this I see,

a house is but a family.

One cannot build with brick and stone;

Who can build but God alone?
