James Thomson - Contentment
Work rating: Low

If those who live in shepherd`s bower,
   Press not the rich and stately bed;
The new-mown hay and breathing flower
   A softer couch beneath them spread.

If those who sit at shepherd`s board,
   Soothe not their taste by wanton art;
They take what Nature`s gifts afford,
   And take it with a cheerful heart.

If those who drain the shepherd`s bowl,
   No high and sparkling wines can boast;
With wholesome cups they cheer the soul,
   And crown them with the village toast.

If those who join in shepherd`s sport,
   Gay dancing on the daisied ground,
Have not the splendour of a court;
   Yet love adorns the merry round.
