I Built Myself a House of Glass
[I BUILT MYSELF A HOUSE OF GLASS] by EDWARD THOMAS
I built myself a house of glass: It took my years to make it: And I was proud. But now, alas, Would God someone would break it.
But it looks too magnificent. No neighbour casts a stone From where he dwells, in tenement Or palace of glass, alone.
