CXXVIII.

[Six olives and a vineyard small]

Six olives and a vineyard small
Beside a tumbling waterfall:
An earth so fair, a sky so blue
That heaven itself seems smiling through:
A flask of wine more nectarous than
Old Bacchus drunk with noisy Pan:
With songs of birds and heaps of flowers:
Cool shades of oleander bowers:
A quiet mind; a heart at ease:
A book or friend just framed to please:
Plain fare and rustic joys be mine;
And then with kings I would not dine.

Tivoli, 1865.
