This is the house
With or without hope
We always return home
Jaroslav Seifert
This is the house of lost joys
The house where all things come together
This is the house
Where the humming of the sun is heard
Through the cracks of the door
This is the house
Where deepest night
Drips from the wall
This is the house of those we forget each day
Where all things come together.
