I`ve learned—Of all the friends I`ve won             Dame Nature is the best, And to her like a child I run             Craving her mother breast To comfort me in soul distress,             And in green glade to find Far from the world`s unloveliness             Pure peace of mind.             I`ve learned—the worth of simple ways,             And though I`ve loved to roam, I know the glow of hearth ablaze,             The bliss of coming home. I`d rather wear old clothes than new,             I`d rather walk than drive, And as my wants are oh so few             I joy to be alive. I`ve learned—that happiness is all,             A sweetness of the mind; And would you purge your heart of gall,—             Try being kind. Then when some weaker one you aid,             Believe it true `Tis God Himself will make the grade             Less hard for you.
