MAXIMS FOR THE OLD HOUSE: THE PLASTER ON THE CHIMNEY by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH

First Line: THESE WORDS IN TIME SHALL PASS AWAY
Last Line: MAY KNOW THE BLESSEDNESS OF WINGS.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
These words in time shall pass away
And moulder with the mouldering clay.
Learn thou that only passing things
May know the blessedness of wings.
