The Cottage

The Cottage

It was only for a short time

I had the privilege to stay

In a quaint little caretaker's cottage

Down the lane a little ways

It sat in the shadow of a grand old home

Luxurious in her day

A carriage house held cars now

I wanted very much to stay

I escaped to times of old

Looking over the river Thames

I spent everyday with a pony named Apache

Escaping to way back when

My life proceeded, as you guessed

But a piece of me was always owned

By a little cottage in Canada

Down a lane on Pond Mills Road
