Edgar Guest - Selfish
Work rating: Medium

I am selfish in my wishin` every sort o` joy for you;
I am selfish when I tell you that I`m wishin` skies o` blue
Bending o`er you every minute, and a pocketful of gold,
An` as much of love an` gladness as a human heart can hold.
Coz I know beyond all question that if such a thing could be
As you cornerin` life`s riches you would share `em all with me.

I am selfish in my wishin` every sorrow from your way,
With no trouble thoughts to fret you at the closin` o` the day;
An` it`s selfishness that bids me wish you comforts by the score,
An` all the joys you long for, an` on top o` them, some more;
Coz I know, old tried an` faithful, that if such a thing could be
As you cornerin` life`s riches you would share `em all with me.
