A Farmhouse for my daughter
If I get to be a man of great means,
I’d buy a fine farmhouse in Philippines,
That has naturally flowing water,
And would let it to my soul’s sole daughter.
The rent I might ask for would just be this:
That she lets me spend there some time of bliss,
Amidst those fresh blossoms of first flowers,
First fall of mangoes with their great flavours,
An if she grows new blossoms on bowers,
Rent-less, whole estate will be ever hers—
That farmhouse in her native Philippines,
That has naturally flowing water,
Would then be all hers, my soul’s sole daughter.
