Where I reap thou shouldst but glean;
Lay thy sheaf adown and come—
Share my harvest and my home.
Thomas Hood.
SIMPLE PLEASURES.
Say, why does man, while to his opening sight
Each shrub presents a source of chaste delight,
And Nature bids for him her pleasures flow,
And gives to him alone his bliss to know,
Why does he pant for Vice’s deadly charms?
