MAXIMS FOR THE OLD HOUSE: THE BEST ROOM by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH

First Line: ALL THEY THAT SPENT THEIR DAYS IN GRACE
Last Line: LEST YE OFFEND THESE PLACID WALLS.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
All they that spent their days in grace
Have left a blessing on this place.
Then gentle be that speech that falls,
Lest ye offend these placid walls.
