Homewood
john clare
Father, what shall we call
The old Towles house
Shall we name it Gavin
For the slave who built
It of the heart pine
Shall we name it Camellia
For the wedding gift
Bushes by the steps
Shall we name it Lucille
For the blind matron
Whose cane etched her
Path down the dog trot
Shall we name it Ethel Marie
For a mother who died
Too soon in August
We shall name it for all
These things
We shall call it
Homewood.
