Thou art bread and meat and drink;

Thou art air and land and sea, love,—

Thou art paper, pens, and ink.

Thou art all of which I'm fond, love:

Thou art Whitstables from Rule's,—

"Little drops" with Spiers and Pond, love,—

Measures sweet at Mr. Poole's.

Thou art everything I lack, love,

From a month at Brighton gay

(Bar the journey there and back, love)
