NATURE, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: I ask not fortune's glittering charms
Last Line: And haste, like human life, away.
Alternate Author Name(s): Marriott, Sir Jame
Subject(s): Nature


I ask not Fortune's glittering charms,
The pride of courts, the spoils of arms;
By silver stream and haunted grove,
O give my peaceful steps to rove:
Beneath the shade of pendent hills,
I'll listen to the falling rills,
That chase the pebble, as they stray;
And haste, like human life, away.
