SENTIMENT. 



I wish I could build me a princely dome, 



With temples and fountains and towers 

 I 'd fence it about with wonderful care, 

 That no annoyers should break in there, 

 And all within should be tasteful and fair 

 Around should be gardens and bowers. 



With plenty of books, and abundance of wealth, 



Enough for myself and for others, 

 I would shut out the ignorant, wicked and rude, 

 And let in the wise, and the witty, and good, 

 Who should keep me for aye in a sociable mood, 



And be to me sisters and brothers. 



Nought there should be vulgar, or false, or unkind, 



And nothing to tire or annoy; 

 We kindred spirits should daily meet, 

 In honest and faithful affection to greet, 

 And chase away time in communion sweet, 



Nor look for the blight of our joy.
