And have said, and say it ever,
As the years go on and the world goes over,
'Twere better to be content and clever
In tending of cattle and tossing of clover,
In the grazing of cattle and throwing of grain,
Than a strong man striving for fame or gain;
Be even as kline n the red-tipped clover,
For they lie down and their rests are rests,
And the days are theirs, come sun, come rain,
To lie, rise up, and repose again.
Be even of clover with its own crown of bios
sons
Ever as blossoms ere the bloom is shed,
Kissed by kline and the brown swee: bee,
For these have the sun, and moon and air,
And never bit of the burden of care.
And with all of our caring what more have we?
l would court content like lover lonely,
l would WOO her, win her, and wear her only.
And never go over this white sea-wall
For gold or glory or aught at all"
