- On Moving Into A New House
Heaven bless this new abode; defend its doors
Against the entry of malignant sprites -
Gaunt Poverty, pale Sickness, Care that blights;
And o'er its thresholds, like the enchanted shores

The ice is drifting through Belle Isle,
And far to seaward by Cape Ray
Broad leagues of open water smile.

Thee best of leaves I love,
In forest or in grove,
O Maple Leaf;
O thou which art the sign
