Oh! Oh! While I remembered, in my previous post, to credit my friend's photograph, I forgot to credit the author of the poem that I paraphrased. He was Joyce Kilmer, the young American poet who wrote "Trees" ("I think that I shall never see, a poem lovely as a tree", etc.) He lived from 1886 to 1918, dying as a soldier on the battlefields of France during World War One, at about only 32 years of age.
The poem that I quoted from memory--memorized it freshman year in high school--is entitled "The House With Nobody In It."
