I’ve often wished that I had clear,
For life, six hundred pounds a year,
A handsome house to lodge a friend,
A river at my garden’s end,
A terrace walk, and half a rood
Of land, set out to plant a wood.

Wishes

There’d be no work

Away With Wishing!
If wishing were being, we’d all be beautiful,
Healthy and wealthy, wise and dutiful;
If wishing were having - what pleasure untold;
With a heartful of joy and purseful of gold!
But wishes, alas! are but empty bubbles,
And the longing heart may teem with troubles,
So idle wishing is vain, forsooth
As the endless search for the fountain of youth.
But work that holds wealth may be had for the taking,
Though it may not bring health, ‘tis a balm for heart-aching;
And study makes wise, and love, people say,
Gives the beauty that’s truest, which lasts for aye.
Then away with wishing; and ho! for labor!
And ho! for love - each one for his neighbor!
For a life of labor and study and love
Is the life that fits for the joy above.
