MAXIMS FOR THE OLD HOUSE: THE STAIR by ANNA HEMPSTEAD BRANCH

First Line: SHE WAS SO YOUNG, SO LIGHT, SO FAIR!
Last Line: LIKE THOU -- LIKE THOU -- MUST PASS FROM ME.
Subject(s): HOUSES;
She was so young, so light, so fair!
I loved her footfall on the stair,
Her voice fell bright through this dim air.
I would have kept my dear, but she
Like thou -- like thou -- must pass from me.
