I Built Myself a House of Glass

by Edward Thomas

I BUILT myself a house of glass:

It took me 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.
