CONTENTED MIND, by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON First Line: Give me, o god! (for all things come from thee) Last Line: "to look for't where it is, in a contented mind." Subject(s): Contentment | ||||||||
"Give me, O God! (for all things come from thee) Content, that richest cordial of the soul: Possessing this, I happier shall be, In my neglected, low degree, Than he who does in heaps of riches roll. Chymists, long in vain, have sought The philosophic stone to find, What labour had been spared! if they had thought To look for't where it is, in a contented mind." | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...PARTHENOPHE: SONNET 66 by BARNABE BARNES I UNCOIL MYSELF AND LIE STRAIGHT OUT by DAVID IGNATOW WITHOUT RECRIMINATION by DAVID IGNATOW EVENTIDE by GEORGIA DOUGLAS JOHNSON LIFE IS BEAUTIFUL by DORIANNE LAUX TO TWO UNKNOWN LADIES by AMY LOWELL CONTENT: A SONG by JANE (HUGHES) BRERETON |
