THE COMPLETE LIBRAEY 
Much more than printed page A bit of garden ground 
The bookworm should engage. Where miracles are found; 
Would you be wise indeed The starry skies that tell 
These volumes you should read: The finite all is well. 
The face of one you love For these provide yourself 
All else on earth above; A twenty-four hour shelf.
