CONTENT
When I behold how some pursue
Fame that is Care's embodiment,
Or fortune, whose false face looks true,—
An humble home with sweet content
Is all I ask for me and you.
Fame that is Care's embodiment,
Or fortune, whose false face looks true,—
An humble home with sweet content
Is all I ask for me and you.
An humble home, where pigeons coo,
Whose path leads under breezy lines
Of frosty-berried cedars to
A gate, one mass of trumpet-vines,
Is all I ask for me and you.
Whose path leads under breezy lines
Of frosty-berried cedars to
A gate, one mass of trumpet-vines,
Is all I ask for me and you.
A garden, which, all summer through,
The roses old make redolent,
And morning-glories, gay of hue,
And tansy with its homely scent,
Is all I ask for me and you.
The roses old make redolent,
And morning-glories, gay of hue,
And tansy with its homely scent,
Is all I ask for me and you.
An orchard, that the pippins strew,
From whose bruised gold the juices spring;
A vineyard, where the grapes hang blue,
Wine-big and ripe for vintaging,
Is all I ask for me and you.
From whose bruised gold the juices spring;
A vineyard, where the grapes hang blue,
444
Is all I ask for me and you.
A lane, that leads to some far view
Of forest or of fallow-land,
Bloomed o'er of rose and meadow-rue,
Each with a bee in its hot hand,
Is all I ask for me and you.
Of forest or of fallow-land,
Bloomed o'er of rose and meadow-rue,
Each with a bee in its hot hand,
Is all I ask for me and you.
At morn, a pathway deep with dew,
And birds that vary time and tune;
At eve, a sunset avenue,
And whippoorwills that haunt the moon,
Is all I ask for me and you.
And birds that vary time and tune;
At eve, a sunset avenue,
And whippoorwills that haunt the moon,
Is all I ask for me and you.
Dear heart, with wants so small and few,
And faith, that 's better far than gold,
A lowly friend; a child or two,
To care for us when we are old,
Is all I ask for me and you.
And faith, that 's better far than gold,
A lowly friend; a child or two,
To care for us when we are old,
Is all I ask for me and you.
