Through the drawn curtain
Daylight seems to gleam,
Saying, Heaven’s certain;
Happiness no dream
Why this revelation?
Why does my heart play?
Simple explanation
Allie’s home today.
Crudely pinned, the walls all wear
Dozens of paintings; on the floor
In stripy dress a silent bear...
From depth of bed to springing step
(The stick discarded on the way)
From enforced tiredness to pep...
