THE HAPPlEsT HEART
Who drives the chariot of the sun
Shall lord it but day;
Better the lowly deed were aone
And kept the humble way. y
The rust will find the sword Of fame;
The dust will hide the crown;
Ay, none shall nail SO high his name
Time will not tear it down.
The happiest heart that ever beat
Was in some quiet breast
That found the common daylight sweet
And left to heaven the rest.
