First Line: The careful angler chose his nook
Last Line: Will cram his belly full of fish.
Alternate Author Name(s): Stevenson, Robert Lewis Balfour
Subject(s): Fish & Fishing


The careful angler chose his nook
At morning by the lilied brook,
And all the noon his rod he plied
By that romantic riverside.
Soon as the evening hours decline
Tranquilly he'll return to dine,
And breathing forth a pious wish,
Will cram his belly full of fish.
