Poor and Happy.

Up in the morning early,
Before the break Of day,
slice Of bread and coffee.
And then to work away.
You never hear murmur,
Nor discontented word,
He's whistling and he's singing,
Happy "a bird.
He envies not his neighbor.
Who owns a house and lands,
So long as be can labor
With his two honest hands.
His capita! dame nature
Bestowed on him at birth;
A happy constitution.
And that's all he is worth
No medicins are needed
To rasp his appitite,
No opiates are taken
To make him sleep at night.
He suffers not congestion
OF blood in heart or brain.
No pangs Of indigestion,
Nor any other pain.
And while crowned heads uneasy
Turned on soft beds of down,
On straw he sweetly slum bcrs,
A king without a crown.
His cottage is his palace.
Contentment is his throne,
And self-control MS sceptre,
His master God alone.
