Sentiment .... Content. 
I would not that earth’s richest mines 
Should yield for me their store ; 
Nor golden rivers at my feet, 
Their shining treasures pour. 
I would not that Name’s trumpet voice 
Should herald forth my name ; 
Nor Honor’s proud and lofty place, 
I would not wish to claim. 
I would that in some humble vale, 
Some quiet rural spot, 
I there might find a welcome home, 
To be my happy lot. 
’T is there alone, I ’d hope to find 
Sweet hours of peaceful rest ; 
’T is there, contented, I would dwell, 
With one I love the best.
