For the peace that is the sweetest isn't born of minted gold, Is no dim and distant pleasure--it is not to-morrow's prize, It' is every day within us--all the rest is hippodrome-- On the come and go of battles or some vessel's slender ropes. Who believe that real contentment only men victorious gain. Are the ones who find their glories in the little spot called home. My Books and I My books and I are good old pals: Just suited for my merry moods Bill Nye comes down to joke with me Just like two fools we sit and laugh With Stevenson I sit, Of Bill Nye and his wit. He talks of lofty things, Sedate and grave as kings. And should my soul be torn with grief A little volume, torn and thumbled, I take my little Bible down And when I part from it I find Nor seek undying fame. That many know my name. I may not own the skill to rise Nor win a place among the wise, Contented to the end, And proudly call me friend. Questions Would you sell your boy for a stack of gold? Would you take a fortune and never see Suppose that his body were racked with pain, To buy your boy? Could a monarch pay .
