[Illustration]
A light canoe, a box of cigarettes,
Sunshine and shade;
A conscience free from love or money debts
To man or maid;
A book of verses, tender, quaint, or gay,
DOBSON or LANG;
Trim yew-girt gardens, echoing the day
When HERRICK sang;
A Thames-side Inn, a salad, and some fruit,
Beaune or Hochheimer;--
Are simple joys, but admirably suit
An idle rhymer.
