And there are those whom banquets please,

And masques and revelry by night.

Such gauds are wearisome to me;

And wilder lures of dice or drink

Attract me not; my maddest glee

Is to sit still and think.

I think and think; the world grows less,

And Budgets seem but worthless toys;

For I am lost in happiness,

In my ecstatic joy of joys.
