[You'll say, perhaps, that a cup of hot tea]
You'll say, perhaps, that a cup of hot teaTaken, sans souci,
In a cheerful, curtained room,
With chattering friends around,
Is pleasanter far
Than blackberries are,
Devoured in the gloom
Of a hermit's cell,
Without any carpet, but only the ground.
Ah, well!
You mayn't like his lodging and diet,
But think of his quiet!
