First Line: My sabine farm, or, sooth to speak
Last Line: My sabine farm!
Subject(s): Farm Life; Agriculture; Farmers


MY Sabine Farm, or, sooth to speak,
My cottage on some Cornish creek,
Without pretence, of aspect plain,
Shall yet a world of wealth contain:
Such wealth as students prize and seek.

Its garden large, in mode antique
Severely ranged, no modern freak
Shall mar. No miscalled friend shall gain
My Sabine Farm.

Such is my dream. Meantime I eke
A scanty substance, week by week;
For situate is my domain,
Like lordlier castles are, in Spain ...
Till I acquire, sedate and sleek,
My Sabine Farm!
