Show The Straying Desire V Homo people thero bo who never cnu rre Any viiluu In uucht thnt they liavo, But what others have got and what they hnvo not Js that which thoy eagerly crnve. If their neighbors havo less they aro fain to confens That rlchvH are only u enro; Uut If others hnvo more there's a terrible terri-ble ronr Uecauso It's so very unfair. If a lnm hus a bonnet with feathers upon It Tho mnlil with tho flower hnt weeps; If a luil has a marble some comrade will wnrble. "Oh, come, let's play marbles for keeps." Too oft It's tho same with the bountiful duine Who stares nt tho world through her lorgnou; 3 Some other atllie. aomo other damo's squire. Is what sho has Just set her heart on. How mnny hearts ache nnd how many break With desires that olsowhero do rnam; Those who dolefully cry for tho moon In the sky Would And moro satisfaction nt home. For there's one ' circumstance which should greatly 'enhnnco Tho worth of what one mny possess; lhat which ho despises some one elso highly prizes And wants, moro than words can express. ex-press. To use well nil one's got in his own llttlo lot Will furnish Joys qulto unexpected; To mine ono's own Held will frequently yield A wealth hitherto 'unsuspected. -Kugenln Klslo Ulnln. |
