Mystery House (Poetry version)

O my father's mystery house
Uncompleted for more than forty years 

Tarry in the evergreen 
Under ice of procrastination

Forlorn hopes and taunting
And so it stood forty years 

Embarrasment of monumental
That stood against the conscience of time

Tardier fortune and procrastinated riches
And weary voyages and hope dettered

A weary to the doting heart and lethargy 
To the golden hills

And lo before we could say jack
Herald of golden hills and opulence alights

Embarrasment of profound obscurity
Tergiversated into monument of esteem
