First Line: Let me live in god's great out-of-doors
Last Line: I shall leave behind the haunts of men.
Subject(s): Blessings; Solitude; Loneliness
Let me live in God's great out-of-doors,
Where I can sing and whistle when I do my chores;
And where I can find sweet solitude
To think things out, when in the mood.
Let me be close to the homely things,
And my heart be filled with contentment that they bring:
Give me these blessings all, then --
I shall leave behind the haunts of men.
