Green Dragon Poem
\"Oh little house I love,Where friendship dwellsAnd gives to every roomQuiet thought and peace.Thou relic of a bye-gone age,Of oaken rafters and uneven floors,Low lintel'd doorways, carved inglenooks,Though mellow age doth always charmAnd old-world places cast a spell,If truest Friendship dwelt not thereTo welcome and refresh anew,I could not love thee as I do.O little house, with such quaint name,No dragon thou, no hurt or maim, Who ever comes with weary feetIthin thy walls finds quiet retreat.\"N.G. Morgan 1944
