Happy is a country life! Happy is a country life! Blest with content, good health and ease, Free from factions, noise and strife, We only plot ourselves to please. Peace of mind's our day's delight, And love, or welcome dreams, at night. Peace of mind's our day's delight, And love, or welcome dreams, at night. Hail! green fields, and shady woods! Hail! crystal streams that still run pure, Nature's uncorrupted goods, Where virtue only dwells secure; Free from vice and free from care, Age has no pain, nor youth a snare. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ON THE INFLATION OF THE CURRENCY, 1919 by ROBERT FROST PUSSY-WILLOW TIME by ROBERT FROST BUT NOW by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON THE MAN TO BE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON EPITAPH IN A CHURCH-YARD IN CHARLESTON, SOUTH CAROLINA by AMY LOWELL |
