Robert W Service - SimplicityRobert W Service - Simplicity
Work rating: Low


What I seek far yet seldom find Is large simplicity of mind                     In fellow men; For I have sprouted from the sod, Like Bobbie Burns, my earthly god,                     —From plough to pen.                     So I refuse my brain to vex With problems prosy and complex,                     Beyond my scope; To me simplicity is peace, So I persue it without cease,                     And growing hope. "The world is too much with us," wrote Wise Wordsworth, whom I love to quote,                     When rhymes are coy; And simple is the world I see, With bud and bloom and brook and tree                     To give me joy. So blissfully I slip away From brazen and dynamic day                     To dingle cool . . . Now tell me friend, if in your eyes, By being simple I am wise,—                     Or just a fool?
