"I've found this out," said Farmer John,

"That happiness is not bought and sold,

And clutched in a life of waste and hurry,

In nights of pleasure and days of worry,

And wealth isn't all in gold,

Mortgages, stocks and ten per cent,

But in simple ways and sweet content,

Few wants, pure hopes and noble ends,

Some land to till and a few good friends,
