The House that Jack Built
This is the taper that lights the way
This is the cloak that covers the stone
That sharpens the knife
That binds the staff
That’s owned by the Maid
Who tends the fire
That boils the pot
That scalds the sword
That fashions the bridge
That crosses the ditch
That compasses the hand
That knocks the door
That fetches the watch
That releases the man
That turns the mill
That grinds the corn
That makes the cake
That feeds the hound
That guards the gate
That hides the maze
That’s worth a light
And into the castle that jack built
