The keys teacups bread basket sheet and a bed | B |
A hope chest of words of gestures brought back used used up | C |
A household order maintained Said Done And always a head was there | D |
I've fallen in love with winter with a Viennese septet wiht summer | E |
With Village maps a mountain nest a beach and a bed | B |

From my balcony I greeted entire peoples my neighbors | I |
By the chimney fire in safety my hair took on its deepest hue | J |
The ringing at the door was the alarm for my joy | K |

It's not you I've lost | L |
