The world was surely made for me,
It is so to my suiting,—
The crispy lettuce green of it,
The satiny new spring sheen of it,
The wealth untold of tasselled gold,
And all the nectared sweet of it,
The crumpled peach-blow fluting.
The world was surely made for me,
It is so to my suiting.
I would not add another stroke,
It suits me so completely,—
The morning, noon, and night of it,
The dark of it, the light of it,
The paths that lead o'er hill and mead
To all the little homes of it,
And birds that sing so sweetly.
I would not add another stroke,
It suits me so completely.
