Edith Nesbit - The Lower RoomEdith Nesbit - The Lower Room
Work rating: Low


How soft the lamplight falls On pictures, books, And pleasant coloured walls And curtains drawn! How happily one looks On glowing flame and ember; Ah, why should one remember Dew and dawn! Here age and wisdom sit Calm and discreet, Life and the fruit of it Are here in truth, Whose gathering once was sweet-- Wisdom and age! Well met! Yet neither can forget Folly and youth!
